Beer and Flatbread Pairing with Hermitage BrewingFood & Drink
6:00pm - 7:30pm
$12.00 With Hermitage Brewing
Come enjoy an evening of beer and flatbreads!
In this class, we will be trying the following brews:
Copious | West Coast IPA brewed with Centennial and Citra hops | 7.2% ABV
Sunset Crusher | Session IPA with notes of lemongrass and tropical fruit | 5% ABV
Keep the Heid | Scotch Style Ale malt forward with caramel characteristics | 9% ABV
Citra Single Hop IPA | Floral, resiny citrus, slight caramel malt notes | 7% ABV
Two Tun Imperial Stout | A moderately full bodied stout | 9% ABV
Pilsner People of the Universe | Brewed with German Pilsner malt and Saaz hops | 5.2 % ABV
Golden Solera Sour: By only removing a fraction of the Foeder’s contents, each release keeps our Solera projects alive and ever- evolving as new layers age and complexity are added to the overall blend. Solera Golden Ale is dry hopped to give it a bright, tropical finish. We pulled this from our Foeder tank named Ophion.
Each beer will be paired with New Leaf's own (brand new) pizza menu. You can expect to try the Spicy Hawaiian with sours, the Blanco with Pilsners and Classic Pepperoni with IPAs.
About the Brewery:
At Hermitage Brewing, we think of our beers as "A retreat from the ordinary".
We are not a mainstream brewery. We don’t copy; we create. Brewmaster Peter and Cellarmaster Greg are obsessive about our quality, and passionately focus on brewing beers that are flavorful, rich in character, aroma driven and unique.
We make beers we want to drink. We are finding an audience for this. Are you with us? We’re always experimenting with new ideas and new approaches that take us –outside the ordinary. Sign Up For Event

6:00pm - 8:00pm
 Presented by Educator Sandi Rechenmacher, NC
Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014) is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.
Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean “dead zones,” and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged.
As eye-opening as Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet, and offers a path to global sustainability for a growing population. Learn why eating a plant-based diet is best for all living on this beautiful planet.

Cooking with Wild SeaweedsFood & Drink
6:00pm - 8:00pm
$40.00 Cooking Demo with Ian O'Hollaren, founder of Seaquoia Wild Seaweeds & Certified Nutrition Consultant Madia Jamgochian
Did you know that sea vegetables, also known as seaweeds, are a nutritional powerhouse packed with protein, vitamins and minerals? Rich in iodine, sea vegetables can play an important role in providing thyroid support. Seaweeds are also high in calcium, folic acid and magnesium, as well as iron, potassium, and pantothenic acid.
Of the brown variety, arame, hijiki, kelp, kombu and wakame are the most popular. Nori, a red seaweed, is perhaps the most well known variety being a main ingredient in sushi rolls.
Studies have shown that sea vegetables have been consumed since at least 8000 B.C.E. by cultures in regions surrounding Japan. Today, however, most people have strayed away from including sea vegetables in their every day diet. This class aims to change that by showing you how to utilize fresh sea vegetables harvested just up the coast from Santa Cruz. Madia and Ian will show you how to whip up 5-6 different recipes using fresh sea vegetables. Come hungry!
Sample Menu:
Seaweed snacks
Kombu Tonic Shooter
Miso Soup with Kombu broth and fresh nori
Bladderwrack Burger
Fresh Seaweed Salad with sea palm and dwarf rockweed
Seaweed coconut ice cream
About the Instructors:
Ian O’Hollaren combined his knowledge and passion of the ocean and turned it into a business and lifestyle. For almost 2 years, Seaquoia Wild Seaweeds has been harvesting seaweeds from California’s unique and bio-diverse coastal ecosystem. Ian strives to connect people to the source of their food while promoting environmental awareness, which has been his business philosophy from the start!
