My Hoppy Place

We here at My Hoppy Place believe that part of our mission is to spread the good word about good beer. To further this mission, we’ve offered a custom beer tasting in this year’s Menu for Hope 6.

What’s the Menu for Hope? It’s a fundraising event organized by Pim of Chez Pim. Food bloggers around the world offer bid items ranging from cookbooks and kitchen tools to tasting menus and cooking classes. Folks purchase “raffle” tickets for $10 a piece and select what items they want to put their tickets in for. Each ticket equals one shot at a prize. Buy three tickets, choose three items or put them all in the same bucket for a better chance. All proceeds go to support the UN World Food Programme’s Purchase for Progress. Purchase for Progress supports small farmers by purchasing food from them for WFP campaigns.

So here’s what we’re putting up: You and three friends could join us for a beer tasting matched to your, well, tastes. Maybe you’re just leaving the Bud behind and ready to experience the wild and wonderful world of craft brews. Perhaps you’re interested in getting to know regional beers. Are you a Wine Nerd venturing into Beer Geekdom and wondering just what kind of beer would pair well with salmon in a pink peppercorn sauce? You tell us we’ll pick the beers.

But don’t stop here. There are a ton of amazing items up for bid through the Menu for Hope. Last year I won an in-home cooking class with Dara Bunjeon, food blogger with the Baltimore Examiner, and she totally got me over my fear of pressure cooking! Bidding is easy and secure. Here are the instructions:
