Beer Class?

Yes. Beer Class. Tuskie's Beer Study Group to be exact. A room filled with beer geeks, geeking out about hops, malts, yeasts, water and all the variations of each today. The last two weeks we nerded the world with discussions of draft systems and how they work, fail to work, and are kept working. No true beer study group would be complete without tasting though and so we've enlisted our handy smart phones to download the Beer Judges Competition Panel (BJCP) Guidelines to lead us through our tasting. We've done everything from Bud Light to Nogne O Russian Imperial Stout. We've gone through all of the English, Scottish, German, Amber, and Pale Styles. We've studied Porters, Browns, and Stouts (all 6 types). We study these for a variety of reasons, least of all to enhance our own knowledge of the world of beers. Next time you're in Fire Works, Magnoia's or Tuskies, ask who attended the Tuskie's BSG this week. And quiz them!
