What you'll do
While you may enjoy a handcrafted beer from your local brewery, have you ever considered learning how to brew beer yourself? In this homebrewing workshop in Brooklyn, you'll learn how to brew beer from scratch! You'll be able to take these basic brewing techniques home with you to start your homebrewing adventure.
This class is designed for the homebrewing novice. It is a fantastic experience for anyone looking to develop a deeper understanding of beer, its ingredients, and the process by which it's made in a friendly and savvy environment. A beer will be brewed in the class, so you'll get hands-on experience with the process.
Your teacher focuses on practical brewing techniques, so you'll be able to brew independently with success. This teaching style is casual while also presenting a wealth of information. It is designed to provide you with the confidence, knowledge, and experience needed to become proficient home brewers and cultivated beer drinkers.
You will learn all the basics to get you up and running while brewing a batch of beer. You’ll learn about extract brewing, malts, grains, hops, yeasts, and how to avoid or troubleshoot the most common problems.
Whether you've always wanted to try homebrewing or you're looking for a new hobby, if you appreciate a great pint of beer and are interested in learning a new skill, you'll enjoy this hands-on workshop. This class also makes for unique gift experience ideas, date ideas, and more!

Max, our instructor, was stupendous. He made everything incredibly fun and easy to understand in a very short time.
Admittedly getting there from Manhattan is a bit of a pain but nonetheless well worth it.
