This is for the 1st Beer School session in Pretoria at Capital Craft Beer Academy (Greenlyn Village Centre, Corner of Thomas Edison & 12th Street East, Menlo Park) on Thursday 19 March 2026, from 18:30 to 20:30 approximately.
Subject: How to Drink Beer
This is not a beer tasting.
It’s a guided flavour experience designed to change how you drink beer forever. Learn how aroma, glassware, temperature, mindset, and memory all influence what you taste — backed by real science and simple experiments you can repeat at home.
Perfect for curious drinkers who enjoy learning why things taste the way they do.
[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!
