Ever stay awake at night wondering what a "donker" is?
Then you are strange and should get help. But if you are curious, and reading about it on Wikipedia doesn't cut it for you, join us every Sunday for a six flight Belgian beer tasting hosted by Resto's new beer sommelier, Ben Wild and learn more about the most dynamic and diverse collection of beers in the world.
