About the Event

Boost sales. Improve business.

Restaurants, bars, and breweries can serve great beer, but can your employees answer questions about the beers on tap? Do they know how to properly pour and serve beer or detect off flavors from spoiled beer and dirty draft lines?

This course will train your servers to be experts in the field. Participants will learn the history of different beer styles, methods to detect off-flavors, and how to suggest general flavor profiles to customers to pair with their food or to suit their preferences.

This expertise will help your staff provide customers with a quality experience that will help boost sales and improve business.

Participants must be at least 21 years of age.
