Pour&Ponder: The Future of Protein
🗓️: Friday, 24th Apr 2026
🕡: Doors open at 7:00 PM
📍: Alma House Lobby Lounge
We’re used to thinking of protein as something familiar — steak, tofu, maybe lentils if we’re feeling plant-forward. But what if we opened the door just a little wider? As climate change reshapes our world, it’s also gently asking us to rethink what’s on our plate — not out of fear, but out of possibility.
Enter: the edible insect.
Join us in as we taste, learn and explore the fascinating, flavorful innovations that are helping us reimagine the future of protein.
