Beer tasting class: what you will learn

A beer tasting is a guided experience where you sample and analyse different beer styles. This is what you take away:

• Recognising beer styles: crisp, classic pilsner, fruity and mild wheat beer, craft beer, hop-forward pale ale and IPA, roasty stout and porter, unfiltered Kellerbier and Zwickel.
• Sensory skills: judging colour, foam and clarity, smelling aromas and naming subtle flavour nuances.
• Brewing knowledge: how hops, malt, yeast and brewing water, as well as the brewing process and storage, shape the flavour.
• Beer and food: bread and pretzels reset the palate, cheese suits stout and doppelbock, nuts and salty pastries highlight hoppy notes, and BBQ works with smoky beers.

The structure is usually the same: welcome and introduction, visual assessment, smelling, tasting from light to intense beers, and finally an exchange with the other participants. Some beer tastings offer non-alcoholic alternatives.
