English Ale Brewing Demo & Discussion with Dave McLean (Admiral Maltings)

English-style bitters and milds are some of the most misunderstood beer styles in the U.S. In a sea of bold, aggressive and assertive beer flavors, these beers speak softly and are all about subtlety and nuance—with sublime results when done well! The devil is in the details when brewing these beers, beginning with malt selection and ending with carbonation and dispense. We’ll brew an all-grain English-style bitter and walk you through some of the key decision points and steps that go into this classic beer category.

This class will be taught by Dave McLean, co-founder of Admiral Maltings and original founder/owner/brewer of Magnolia Brewing.
