You Can Benefit from "The 8 Hour Beer Expert" Program)
For more than a decade, Stephen Beaumont has been teaching bar, restaurant and hotel staff all about beer, from the basics of brewing and beer styles to service standards and food and beer pairing. Now, he has distilled all that experience into a one-day, all-inclusive seminar aptly entitled "The 8 Hour Beer Expert."
Designed for both full front and back of house training as well as Train the Trainer schooling for management and senior personnel, “The 8 Hour Beer Expert” will furnish your staff with everything they need to know to effectively sell beer, especially today’s popular, profit-driving premium, craft-brewed and imported brands. Topics include:
The Essentials of Ale vs. Lager
The Brewing Process and the Role of Ingredients
Beer Style Basics
Beer Service Standards & Delivering 'The Beer Experience'
Advanced Beer Styles
Beer and Food Pairing
Each seminar is divided into two parts. In Session One, suited to full staff participation, servers and bartenders will be given the basics of what they need to know about beer, including the fundamentals of brewing and beer style, plus the essentials of quality beer service. Session Two covers more advanced materials, such as the beer styles of Belgium, the New Wave of American craft brewing, beer and food pairing and how to effectively train future hires, and is intended for, although not limited to, managers and senior personnel.
“The 8 Hour Beer Expert” also features carefully orchestrated tastings that reinforce the learning and comes with extensive take-home materials. Additionally, a quiz is supplied so that students may be tested on their comprehension and retention at a later date.
"Stephen’s training material and presentation skills captivated the attendees in our pilot beer program’s train the trainer class, and converted our bartenders and servers into “Beer Experts”.
