Learn beer, Love beer, Repeat
Our Beer School series is all about sipping, socializing, and soaking up the stories behind what’s in your glass. These aren’t your average lectures – each “class” is led by a Great Dane brewer and packed with flavorful pours, fun facts, and a few surprises.
We explore new beer styles at every session, with themes that range from seasonal favorites to funky flavor fusions. Whether you’re a hop head, malt lover, or lager loyalist, there’s something here for you.
