What Is The Drinkers and Great Thinkers Series?
All classes in the Polis Drinkers and Great Thinkers series pair a “great thinker” with a craft beer or fine wine selection. Students have the opportunity to sample drinks during the class discussions.
Our friends at Healthy Spirits beer store help us to curate a well-paired selection of interesting drinks for each class in this series.
