Check out our new course for our Fall 2024 session!🍺

The history of beer predates the history of many products made by humans. Dating back from the Mesopotamia era we can learn lots from how the product enjoyed by so many worldwide has evolved into the beers we know today. Students learn about the ingredients used to produce this historical beverage, as well as how it is made domestically and internationally. Students explore the classification of beer, how to properly assess beer, how to match beer with food, and how to cook with beer. Special attention is placed on local microbreweries but not forgetting the classic styles we see from the old world.
