Join the Philomathean Society and your fellow seniors for the sequel to our ever-popular Wine Class – the 2011 Fall Beer Class.
What is the Beer Class? Five ninety-minute seminars on how to taste and appreciate beer around the world, conducted by Peter Cherpack, CEO of Beer Appreciation LLC, in the beautiful Philomathean Halls (4th floor College Hall).
When will it take place? Starting Wednesday Oct. 26th, and then continuing weekly through November (Nov. 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 22nd), each week from 7-8.30pm, the Beer Class is the perfect mid-week break in your stressful Fall Semester.
What will we cover? Each class is structured around a series of catered beer tastings, accompanied by insightful commentary. The first class he first class will be a history of beer and the different styles, and you can be sure that every reference will be accompanied by a delicious new beverage. Next the class will get international, and you will have a chance to sample some of the best brews from around the world. After that, its the brewing process. You’ll get a chance to taste beers brewed in many different styles and decide how you like your beer. The class ends will a taste of the local flavor with the very best beers from America and Philadelphia.
How much is the class? We are delighted to be able to provide the class at a considerable discount at $25 per class (though you must pay for all five classes in advance).
