Great Courses -The World of Beer: Tastes of History, Science, and Culture (Zoom)*


Event Details


Have you ever wondered:

  • How early humans first came upon the idea of brewing beer?
  • Why particular styles of beer emerged where and when they did?
  • What happens, at a scientific level, during the beer brewing process?
  • How politics and social mores have influenced how we consume beer?
  • What global brewing trends we can expect to see in the near future?

These and other questions are at the heart of The World of Beer: Tastes of History, Science, and Culture. J Jackson-Beckham, the Founder and Principal of Crafted for All, has crafted an engaging, immersive, and highly interactive series that takes a look at subjects from history and mythology to botany and marketing to economics and religion, all through the lens of beer. In 12 lessons, this Certified Cicerone (think the beer-world equivalent of a sommelier) invites you to taste the incredible diversity of brewed beverages through a case of beer from around the world. Designed as the perfect “beer and knowledge pairing,” each lesson features one to two tastings that encapsulate a different aspect of beer’s myriad importance.
