The Heat is On: Peppers, Hot Sauces & More!


Adult Enrichment / Food & Drink -
Winter 2025

Join us for a fiery exploration of peppers—from familiar jalapeños and chipotles to intense, heart-racing Ghost and Carolina Reapers—and the hot sauces made from them. To balance the heat, we’ll pair these spicy delights with a selection of beer cheeses from the US and Europe. This class is led by a mustard expert, so we’ll also sample some unique pepper mustards. Along the way, we’ll explore fermentation, the key process behind cheese, beer, and also vinegar—one of the crucial ingredients in both hot sauce and mustard.
