Beth Israel of San Diego Men’s Club is pleased to welcome Jeff Silver, owner and founder of Rough Draft Brewing Company, a local craft brewery. Jeff has had a passion for “brewing beer” for many years. He home-brewed beer for more than 20 years before going professional four years ago. Jeff, who is also a member of Beth Israel, founded his brewery with a very specific mission: to “craft innovative, high quality, delicious beers.” Jeff is a UCSD graduate with a BS in cognitive science, and an MBA from UC Irvine.

Jeff will provide us with an overview of the process of brewing beer and will explain the differences surrounding five specific beer styles. All adults attending, who are members of Beth Israel, will have the opportunity to taste and get a professional overview of several India Pale Ales, Belgian style beer and a barrel aged beer. The samples provided will be great accompanying beverages for the deli style dinner preceding the speaker program.

This event doubles as our annual Jewish Family Service “Embrace a Family” program, which provides holiday gifts to families in need. Due to state law requirements only Beth Israel Temple members can be served any of the craft beers. The deli dinner will be provided for free for all those who bring new, unused unwrapped toys and/or gifts, grocery scrip or gift certificates (per attendee) valued at $14 or higher.

Please RSVP below. Reservations are requested by no later than November 17 so we can provide sufficient seating, food and desserts for all attending. For more information, or to register by phone or email, contact Judi Schwartz at jschwartz@cbisd.org, or 858 900-2598.
