WSET BEER COURSE COMES TO CAMBRIDGE

WSET BEER COURSE COMES TO CAMBRIDGE
If you’re a Massachusetts-based beer enthusiast looking to take your interest to the next level, then you are in luck! The newly added WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 1 and Level 2 Awards in Beer will be available at the Commonwealth Wine School in Cambridge. Beginning in February, the school will be among the first in the country to offer courses to trade professionals and people interested in expanding their knowledge of beer.

Bringing with it over 50 years of educational experience, WSET’s new beer qualifications will set the global standard for tasting and education in the beer category. Beer will be WSET’s fourth qualification subject stream following wine, spirits and sake. The courses have been created by WSET’s Sara Hobday (Head of Research and Curriculum – Beer), and Mirella Amato (Master Cicerone and WSET Senior Business Development Manager for Beer), in collaboration with industry experts. WSET Level 1 and 2 Awards in Beer will provide attendees with the product knowledge and tasting skills to become more beer confident. Launching online and in-person, the courses will explore the main types and styles of beer, key methods of production, tasting technique and food pairings. Using WSET’s trademarked Systematic Approach to Tasting, students will be equipped with a universal language to describe what they’re tasting and a framework for assessing quality. To celebrate the launch of its new beer qualifications, WSET is running a series of bitesize webinars exploring the world of beer. Taking place from February 26 to March 1, the following webinars will be available to watch: WHAT IS BEER MADE FROM? Monday, February 26, 10am; HOW IS BEER MADE? Wednesday, February 28, 2am; HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BEER GLASS — Thursday, February 29, 11am; HOW DO YOU TASTE BEER? Friday, March 1, 6am.
