Level 1 Participant Testimonial
“Prud’homme’s Level 1 course was a wellspring of knowledge that introduced me formally to the production and hospitality of beer. The course broke down a wide-range of styles in a novel logical way, and it worked step-by-step through the intricacies that make a beer unique. I also learned how to taste a beer systematically to describe elements such as aromas, taste, or finish. Anyone looking to brew or sell beer would definitely benefit from this course, as well as those who are just curious about expanding their palate for one of humanity’s oldest beverages!”

Level 2 Participant Testimonial
"Huge thanks for an excellent learning experience and thoroughly enjoyable course! It’s been great fun these past two months or so trying the various beers, learning amazing factoids, and expanding my palate. I appreciate the tremendous amount of work and knowledge poured (pardon the pun) into the material and online curriculum by Prud’homme. I really enjoyed progressing through at my own pace, and the course was honestly the highlight of an otherwise dreary lockdown experience. Cheers!"
