This is for the 100th Beer School session in Pretoria at Capital Craft Beer Academy (Greenlyn Village Centre, Corner of Thomas Edison & 12th Street East, Menlo Park) on Thursday 18 June 2026, from 18:30 to 21:00 approximately.
Subject: Good, Better, Beer
Come celebrate my 100th Beer School session as I look back at what I’ve learned from a hundred sessions of teaching people to taste beer. We’ll be exploring ideas and concepts that relate to our journey as South Africans and the relationship we have with this beverage. The evening promises to be a blast as I bring out some of my favourite beers. Get your tickets before they sell out!
[Please note we have a strict One-Bum-One-Seat policy. This means you will need to purchase a ticket should you wish to sit in on the session.]
What is Beer School?
If you’re a beer lover or just curious about this ancient beverage, Beer School has got you covered! Our sessions are designed to help you develop a deeper appreciation for beer, as we guide you through the sensory analysis of different brews and help you identify the unique flavors that make them so special.
But don’t worry, we won’t bore you with complex scientific jargon or chemical compounds. Instead, we present the information in a way that’s easy to digest and enjoyable to learn. Our classes are perfect for everyone from newbies who are just starting to explore the world of craft beer, to homebrewers looking to perfect their recipes, to commercial brewers who want to expand their knowledge of ingredients and beer styles.
So why not grab a cold one and join us for an exciting and educational journey into the wonderful world of beer?
Cheers!
