This course is designed to take students on an exploration through the world of beer. The program provides the core knowledge around the history, terminology and style characteristics of beers. Upon completion of this program participants will be able to:
- Exercise knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the world's diverse beer styles
- Understand the basic terminology and methods of brewing.
