Are you a budding beer connoisseur who is looking to expand both your knowledge and palate?  Do you enjoy “good beer” but have trouble deciding on which beers to try?  Have you been a craft beer devotee for years but might be stuck in a rut?  If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above then we have the perfect opportunity for you!

Welcome to Hy-Vee Beer School!  Over the course of six consecutive weeks you will learn the history and lore of classic beer styles, debunk beer myths, learn to make better purchasing decisions and, most importantly, sample the best examples of the most sophisticated beverage on earth, beer!

These classes are as fun as they are informative and the information presented will be useful for all types of beer drinkers.  After these six weeks you’ll know the origin of India Pale Ales and Russian Imperial Stouts, sample unique beers like Flanders Red and Weizenbock, you’ll learn the truth about “skunky” beer… and much, much more!

Each class will start at 7pm in the Hy-Vee Club Room and last roughly two (2) hours.  Each session will feature:

-Eight (8) different beers to sample
-Light snacks
-Educational handout
-Beer themed giveaways
-Prizes
-Lots of fun
