Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this beer tasting class:

This advanced course and accompanying tasting will engross you in the wonderfully complex world of hops which are the delicate, cone-like flower giving many of your favorite brews their delicious and complex aromas and flavors.

Hops are wonderfully diverse and are used for multiple purposes. Each variety imparts a uniquely different scent and flavor – from spicy, citrusy, pine-like, earthy to floral. 

Our course will comprehensively cover the essential properties and nature of hops: you will learn how to distinguish between hop varieties and their origins as well as how to harness them throughout the brewing process to produce a perfectly balanced homebrew. Learn how hops are used for flavoring, bittering, and preserving beer and leave with a deeper appreciation for the world of hops.

We will require that attendees provide a CDC issued COVID-19 vaccination card showing a fully-vaccinated status. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Refund Policy

We don’t issue refunds, but if you need to reschedule your class for any reason, you have up to 13 business days in advance to do so.

If you find yourself missing the deadline, try asking around and see if a friend can take your spot. You’ll get the refund and fill a perfectly good spot. Everybody wins!

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Very informative, and the instructor was fun and knowledgeable! Improvement could be made in the amount of distractions, as the course is taught inside the shop and customers were coming in and out making a decent amount of noise.

    The course and the teacher were extremely informative and fun. The tasting part put the preceding lecture and slides into practical use and helped illustrate the differences between different hops. Warmly recommended!

    Reviewed by Julie on 1/6/2014
    This is an advanced class if you are interested in the nuances of different hops. My biggest complaint was around the facilities. Noise was an issue at times since the class is right in the store. And they don't have heat so I was freezing for 3 hours. Handouts were limited. And projecting slides on a brick wall is not so helpful.
