Introduction to Beer Making

Ever wondered how grain, water, hops, and yeast turn into beer? This introductory beer-making workshop breaks it all down in a fun, approachable way—no prior brewing experience required. We’ll walk through the full brewing process step-by-step, from understanding basic ingredients and equipment to mashing, boiling, hopping, and fermentation. Along the way, you’ll learn how different choices affect flavour, aroma, and style, plus common mistakes to avoid when brewing at home. Participants will get hands-on experience with a small-batch brew, taste and discuss different beer styles, and leave with the knowledge and confidence to start brewing on their own. Whether you’re beer-curious or ready to dive into a new hobby, this workshop is the perfect place to start.
