Join us at the Thirsty Ear Pub for a four day course where we explore the intricacies of brewing beer and produce a batch of all grain beer ourselves. Broken up into four categories (boil, ferment, bottle and tap) the classes will focus on the production of a 5 gallon batch of a, as yet to be, selected ale. 

In addition to sparging grains and pitching yeast at the Thirsty Ear, we will interact with others in the micro brewing industry; guests from Slumbrew (to be confirmed) will be taking part in classes, and we have a planned trip to Aeronaut Brewery in Somerville. 

As we will be producing and sampling fermented drink, this is a 21+ class. Every participant is asked to contribute 20$ for class materials and will walk away with a few bottles of their own, personaly brewed beer at the end of the IAP course.

Classes will be as follows:

January 10 - Boil: mashing, sparging, brewing, cooling, pitching yeast (5pm - 9pm)

January 17 - Ferment: racking to secondary fermenter, visit to local micro brewery (5pm - 8pm)

January 24 - Bottle: santising, bottling beer, discussion with local brewers and beer varieties (5pm - 9pm) 

January 31 - Tap: taste a bottle of home brew, make some labels, share a pint (5pm - 8pm)
