Burial Beer Co. Launches Off Topic Talk Series

Asheville, NC, July 26th, 2017 — Burial Beer Co. is launching a new event series

focused on conversations with Brewers and Brewery Owners that go beyond beer into

humanizing topics, offering candid experiences of industry members to attending craft

beer fans.

Off Topic, as the series is called, was inspired by the conversations that owner, Doug

Reiser, found himself constantly immersed in during collaboration with visiting

breweries.

“During collabs there is a lot of beer talk, but the conversations that always stick with me

are the ones that have nothing to do with beer. Those conversations are how we become

friends,” explains Reiser. “The goal of Off Topic is to humanize the artisans behind these

brands and beers while removing the barriers between those same people and their

consumers. It gives these people a chance to talk about their lives and not just beer. And

it’s really fun.”

To date, Off Topic events have featured the brewery’s label artist, David Paul Seymour

and Jonathan Wakefield of J. Wakefield Brewing. In the month of July Burial is slated

host TRVE Brewing from Denver, CO (Wednesday, July 5th at 6pm) and Other Half

Brewing from Brooklyn, NY (Sunday, July 9th at 3pm).

“We’re all telling a story through beer,” explains Nick Nunns, proprietor of TRVE

Brewing. “Getting to know the people behind that story gives context for the beers they

choose to make. We draw a lot of inspiration for beer from the other facets of our life,

and that’s something we talk about a lot internally, but don’t often get to share with

people while having few beers with them.”

All Off Topic events are hosted at the brewery’s taproom in the South Slope of Asheville.

Tickets are $10 at the door and include a commemorative glass from the visiting brewery,

access to the talk, and beers to taste and share. For more information on upcoming Off
