CUL 303 The Craft of Beer

This course explores the history of beer, ingredients, brewing processes, beer styles and the business of beer. This will be accomplished with an in-depth study and discussion of beer past and present and the skill of brew masters in producing beers that reflect the character of each beer style.  Learn how to taste and evaluate beer, how it should be stored and served and how to pair it with food.  All students must be over 21 years of age, and have no allergies or cultural prohibitions that might prevent them from fully participating in the tastings or required preparations.  Lab fee required for face-to-face sections.
