We keep our events simple, informative and just plain fun.  No hot pokers in your beer, no foot races, no release parties for the next beer we put peanut butter in, just 'to the point' galas.  Our wine seminar's are usually taught by people with 30+ years of experience, our Sunday beer flights will feature beers you won't be able to taste elsewhere and our weekend wine flights are like mini wine classes at your leasure.   We do 4-5 mini-beer festivals a year (usually on Sunday) that are major bashes; our Trappist Festival features 18 different Trappist beers, our Bockfest features every great Doppelbock from Bavaria (many from monasteries), September is Octoberfest month, and we usually feature 10-12 rare Bavarian festbiers you also won't fine elsewhere for the entire month.  Stay tuned, we will try and post far enough in advance to help you plan ahead.

WHAT: Yoerg's Bockfest 2026

Our annual Bockfest is one of our most treasured festivals.  We bring in a boatload of Spring's famous Beer brewed for lent from all over Europe.  We have Doppelbocks from three different Monasteries in Bavaria and wonderful Bocks and Doppelbocks from Austria, Croatia aside from all over the rest of Germany.  We will also have Yoerg's famous Bock Beer (Blue Ribbon Champion in 1895 World Beer Championship in London) and Yoerg's historic 'Strong', a splendid German-styled Doppelbock brewed for over 100 years.  Some new surprises will be offered as well.  Another 'not-miss' at Yoerg's.

ORVAL DAY 2026
SATURDAY: March 21st: 12:00pm to 9:00pm

The Orval legend began almost 1,000 years ago, when a princess accidentally dropped her ring into a spring and a trout returned it. It continues now, with a day to reflect on and enjoy this amazing Trappist ale.

On Orval Day, devotees of Orval Trappist Ale – and some folks who maybe have not tried it yet – convene to celebrate one of the world’s unique and highly-respected beers.  Orval Trappist Ale was the first Brett beer to land on US shores, and has become the favorite beer for many star American brewers. ( “Brett” – brettanomyces – is a yeast variety that adds appetizing, sharp acidity and dryness.) Orval is brewed to exquisite perfection within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery in Belgium. It’s delicious when it leaves the brewery, but also evolves in the bottle for five years or more.

Each year we make a donation to charity based on sales of Orval on Orval Day. The Yoerg Brewing Company has been the biggest contributor to Orval's charity for 6 years in a row in the Midwest.  Not only do we drop the price of Orval for the day, but we offer 4-5 older vintages for the event as well.  This is one of our biggest events of the year.

Our 'Wine Flight Weekends' start at 12:00 noon that Friday and goes continuously until 6:00pm Sunday evening.  A different theme every tasting, with detailed notes to learn about each wine. They rotate with our 'Beer Flight Sundays'.

WINE SEMINAR:  The great Growths of Bordeaux
WHEN: Tuesday, March 10th.  7:00pm to 9:00pm
COST: $65.00 (Includes gratuity)

Bordeaux may be the most important wine region in the world, being the birthplace of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.  If you were going to list the 20 greatest wines in the world; half of them would be red Bordeaux.  So we are going to be featuring eight red Bordeaux wines  from eight of the finest Estates in Bordeaux.   These are household names around the world and estates so cherished that they have become staples with every wine connoisseur on this earth.  Our own Thomas Keim will be leading this tasting (yes, he's back from the dead) as this is his favorite wine region.

We do a couple spotlight tastings a month featuring rare beers or ciders you wouldn't normally have available for flights or samples.   It may be a rare Belgian brewery one Sunday, or an entire category of beers with 10-15 selections to build flights with.  Stay tuned to this page or our Facebook site for more details.
