Ok. so I was listening to Basic Brewing Radio, and they said they were going to interview a professor from my college WKU about the brewing history and science class they offer there...




WHHHAAAATTTT?????


Where the f was I when they were offering that class? Oh, thats right, they just started offering it! A semester after i graduate..

Good for them.. but screw that.

That's messed up. Call them up and tell them that they need to let you take it tuition free.

The dirty bastids.

 

[Revvy]

Yeah, it was a great podcast...the class sounds cool!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Most schools would be glad to take your tuition fees regardless if you ned the credits or not.

 

[aekdbbop]

Yeah, I may retire in that town. then it would be cool to take the class.. but thats like 40 years away!

 

[olllllo]

I would hope that in less than 40 years that you could teach that class.

 

[aekdbbop]

you know it.. that would almost be the dream.. homebrew and beer classes!

 

[FishinDave07]

There is a class here at FIU that i JUST heard about. Its in the hospitality school...something about intro to brewing ...yeah, I'm takin it next semester :rockin:

Clemson has a wine making and tasting class now if I wasnt graduating I'd be in there next semester for sure.

GaTech has nothing like this. Just a series of really hard classes.

During my undergrad for my microbiology class we had Dan Carey (Brewmaster of New Glarus Brewing) come in and give a lecture. It was really informative, interesting and a pretty cool experience since it was one of his beers (Fat Squirrel) that gave me my first taste of what beer is supposed to taste like. Man that brewery puts out some good brews. I miss living in Wisconsin for that reason alone. Every time I visit my parents I make sure to pick me up a good supply.

When I went to college you had to gain beer knowledge through "independent study" if you know what I mean. Intro to brewing would be a cool way to knock out some electives.

 

[aekdbbop]

found the syllabus for the class.. haha

After listening to the PodCast, the professor stated that the Brewing Class was an "Honors" class and wasn't offered every year.
