Ever wanted to say, “I brewed this myself”? Now’s your chance.

In this hands-on three and a half hour brewing class, you’ll learn the full process of crafting your own beer from grain to glass alongside experienced home brewers in a fun and approachable environment. We’ll walk you through every step of the brewing process so you leave with both new skills and great beer.

The best part? Your class includes TWENTY 32oz crowlers of the beer you brewed yourself. After fermentation is complete, you’ll return three weeks later to can your beer and take it home ready to enjoy and share. That’s 40 craft beers for less than $7 each — and every single one comes with serious bragging rights.

Want to make it even better? You can bring up to 9 friends to join the experience and split both the cost and the beer. Whether you turn it into a date night, birthday celebration, team outing, or just a great excuse to hang out, everyone gets to be part of the brewing process and enjoy the final product together.
