Cabrillo College Brewing School
Beer Tasting
I will choose 10 to 12 beers to be sampled in class and 3-4 oz. will be served of each. I will give some history of the evolution of beer and the basics of brewing science before we launch into the tasting. This is a thorough evaluation of the beers using a summarized form that I created from an extensive tasting sheet developed by the American Homebrew Association.CLASS OUTLINE
