Beer Courses?

[jdemars]

Has anyone taken online courses for brewing? I stumbled across Craft Beer and Brewing video courses and was wondering if $10 a month would be worth it.

Thanks

I would lean towards no. There are so many great videos on Youtube on how to brew and how to brew styles that $10/month just doesn't seem worth it. Unless they are bringing something way more to the table.

Are they teaching homebrewing or pro brewing? If it's the latter and you're looking to try to get involved in brewing professionally, ten bucks seems like a small price to get a bit of insight on the front end. Since they appear to have fairly limited content, you could probably get a look at most of their material in a month or two unless they're adding new content regularly.

But yeah, if it's just for homebrewing, there are tons of resources available for free, so I'd give it a miss.

Like FatDragon and myndflyte said, most likely no. Looking at the costs, that money is better spent on ingredients, equipment, and literature. If this is giving you an inside look at the industry and going in-depth into the chemistry of beer, then by all means do it. Most 4 year programs require 3 classes of organic chemistry to get in (using Colorado State University's program as a baseline if anyone is wondering). With costs of college these days, this is a bargain IF they go that in depth. Just my two cents though.
