The first of 4 Beer Judging Classes will be held at the Home Wine and Beer Shop on Sept. 20 at 7PM. The other classes willf be on Oct. 4, Oct. 18, and Nov. 1. We'll have 4 different guest instructors who are some of the most knowledgable beer experts in Southern Calfiornia teaching. We will also be covering most of the world beer styles, how to evaluate beer, off flavors and faults, and brewing techniques.
Over 40 beers will be sampled in the four weeks and beer judging will be involved. These classes are as advanced a training as we give, and are open to all (space available). The cost for all four classes is $50 (just to cover the cost of the beer).
It has been four years since we've had our last classes. At least dozen of the graduates of our classes have gone on to be commercial brewers or open breweries and all who have attended become better brewers. If you are interested in the classes and aren't already signed up, send an email to John Aitchison at malty@earthlink.net.
