Craft Beer Backstage Pass - Hang with the Pro's

Other items covered in this course will be hot topics in the craft beer industry, forecasting new trends and what our brew team sees on the horizon in the craft world.

All participants will receive free samples with their class enrollment. About Big Wood Brewery In 2009 we launched the brewery and created our first award-winning craft beer, Morning Wood Coffee Stout. Since that day, we have been committed to crafting quality beer our way. We respect the laws and traditions of our industry, but we don’t feel the need to follow trends. Deviating from the norm is our norm — we consider ourselves the original hipsters (or shall we say “hopster”) due to our lack of interest in conforming.
