Beer Academy Director Simon Jackson said “The Beer Academy’s role is to enlighten, educate and enthuse people about beer. These short courses are all about the enthusing part. There is no exam; just a fun evening discovering more about one aspect of beer with a leading expert. And the chance to sample a range of magnificent beers.
For most people it will just be a great night out. But for others, it can be the first step to more advanced courses and formal recognition as beer expert. ”
