Hands-On Beer: Warming Winter Brews!
Portland is arguably the micro-brew capital of the world, and with good reason. We have tremendous beers here in town. If you like micro and home brews, does Community Ed have the class for you!
Learn about Portland's role in the revival of the craft brewing industry, while getting hands-on experience with the complete cycle of the basic, all-grain brewing process. Dial in your taste buds as you learn beer styles, descriptions, flavors and aromas, brewing equipment and tricks on how to avoid common pitfalls in the brewing process!
And to top off this great course, at the final class you can bring home your own private brew to share!
Below are some shots of his Hands-On Beer class this last month:
