Best Entry Level Class Ever: Beer Appreciation 101

UMKC's Communiversity is celebrating their 40th anniversary.  Communiversity is a non-academic, non-credit adult educaiton program sponsored by UMKC's Office of Student Involvment.  Volunteers from the community teach classes that cover a wide spectrum of topics and interests, many unique to the Kansas City experience.  I would expect to get straight As in this upcoming class.

This class is a basic introduction to the world of beer. It will be held at Boulevard Brewing Company, from 6 to 8 p.m., and features an educational tour and sampling with Neil Witte, the brewery’s field quality manager and certified Cicerone, who is also a former brewer at Boulevard.

Included in the class are details on the brewing process and ingredients, beer styles, flavor evaluation and the basics of pairing beer and food. Must be 21 to attend.

The class, #3304 A, has a limited number of spots and you can register at https://ecomm2.umkc.edu/communiversity/page1.aspx.

CLASS FEE: $14 + $15 material fee = $29
