Beer and Sake take center stage. This class also includes 2 practice blind wines in preparation for the Somm Essentials Exam.
Fermented grain is the focus of this class as we present the origins of beer, ingredients, production and styles. We discuss the international standards and the rise of the craft beer movement. Taste the spectrum from pilsner to stout and lambic to Trappist.
Next, dive into multiple parallel fermentations with the production and styles of sake. Taste examples of various Seimaibuai from different regions of Japan and learn service traditions and options.
Both in-class or online receive 2 practice wines for those preparing for the Somm Essentials tasting exam and it's a bonus for others.
