About this Event
This class will explore the tasting process we go through when evaluating a beer. I know, some of you might be like, "What's to evaluate? If it tastes good, I drink it!" And while there's nothing wrong with that, to fully appreciate a beer you want to learn to pay attention to the primary elements of the drinking experience: aroma, appearance, taste, mouthfeel, and the overall impression it leaves.
You don't need to have aspirations to become a certified beer judge to benefit from taking a more observant approach to drinking beer. As you begin to pay more attention to the beers you drink, you will start to understand which flavors you like, what is responsible for those flavors, and ultimately what beer styles you prefer.
In this class, you will learn basic vocabulary for discussing beer flavors and the process for evaluating a beer's color, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression. We will put it all together at the end by tasting some beers together and walking through a beer evaluation sheet to practice our skills.
The cost is $25 and the class is led by Kelly Pickard, Certified Cicerone®
