VIP tickets are $75 and include unlimited beers along with a VIP only spread featuring an array of oysters, charcuterie, cheese and greens presented by Proof of the Pudding. Ticket, silent auction, and raffle proceeds will directly benefit Giving Kitchen.
Second Helping is the result of a collaboration between SweetWater’s brewers and the late chef Ryan Hidinger. In 2013, Ryan and his wife Jen (co-founders of Giving Kitchen) met with SweetWater head brewer Nick Nock to create a recipe for a bigger beer that would pair well with food. Their use of juniper berries is evident – one helping was steeped in the brewhouse, then a second helping was added to the dry hop. The result is a slightly spicy and tangy taste with a balanced citrus flavor and aroma.
