In this class we will look at the history of beer and examine how certain cultures have used and interacted with beer. We will learn how to brew beer, with an emphasis on small-scale, home-brewing techniques. We expect to get into the nitty-gritty of brewing which includes some chemistry, but there won’t be any lab write-ups. We will tour a local brewery to illustrate how some of the classroom theory is implemented and we will visit local tap houses to learn about the different types of beer and sample them. Although we won't actually brew beer during this class, students will leave this class with enough knowledge to be able to brew beer at home.

Students must be 21 years or older.

NOTE: Participants are responsible for their own purchases on all class outings.
