Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a lager and an ale? What about all of those acronyms like ABV and IBU? Are you for certain that you wouldn’t like a beer that is dark in color? Maybe you’re a wine connoisseur looking to expand your horizons with Colorado’s signature beverage? Possibly you just moved to this great state and you haven’t been exposed to the rich variety of craft beer?
If so, you’re a perfect candidate to attend the first of a 3 part series, designed just for women, who are interested in learning more about craft beer. Join this low key, friendly, no pressure, and FUN session while getting a proper introduction to the great world of craft beer.
The first class will focus on craft beer lingo, the four main ingredients of beer, the basic equipment of brewing, and common abbreviations (ABV, IBU).
Class 2 (Feb 16) and 3 (March 22) will delve deeper into the nuances of styles, history, proper glassware for different styles, women in the craft beer industry, etc. ***Consider signing up for all 3 sessions at a discounted rate! Tickets may be purchased in the taproom or on our website.***
All classes taught by a female in the industry. All classes include multiple tastings of the subject matter and snacks. All classes allow for plenty of networking and meet and greet time.
