Eric’s Virtual Beers Around the World class was awesome. For starters, he picked an awesome variety of beers. I drink a lot of beer, visit a lot of breweries and beer shops, but it was great to be (re-)introduced to some styles that are easy to forget and appreciate when you lean towards IPAs and there are so many to try these days. The beers were great and he also had good reason to choose each, so the background story on each was informative. And of course, he found a way to fit my juicy IPA preferences into the mix. Judging by my girlfriend’s experience, the class is great for the non-beer enthusiast as well. Looking forward to doing another class tailored to other beer interests with Eric and some friends who are into beer.

Kevin was super knowledgeable and engaged with the entire class at their own level. I learned a lot and told others about it!

Fun and informative. You get 5-6 mini glasses of beer like the size you’d get with a flight. I say 5-6 because it was 5 as part of the class but at the end she let us taste one more because someone asked a question about a certain style so I’m not sure that extra glass is always a thing. I think I’d rather take the couples class next time. It’s only a $15 more per person and includes food and an hour open bar at the end. This doesn’t include food and only get you 10% off at the bar after.

Great class!

Kevin knows his stuff! The class was enjoyable and the pairings were delish!

Very informative. Instructor was clearly passionate about the subject matter, which definitely made the class more enjoyable.

The class was very insightful. I learn a few things i didn't know about even being a big beer adocate. I would definitely recommend anyone to try the class. The instructor was out going, laid back, and knowledgeable. I will definitely try another class in the future.

Plentiful selection of excellent sour beers! Bring your appetite!

I highly recommend this class for anyone who is into beer or just looking for something fun to do. Class was held in a middle of a beer shop/bar in LES. The background noise and activity added to the energy without it being too distracting. The instructor, Josh, was an excellent balance of entertaining and incredibly knowledge. I was also impressed w/ the value. Over the course of the 1.5hr class, you taste 12 beers, many of which are fairly expensive or super difficult to get in the states. I've taken a ton of tasting classes on CourseHorse (not a lush, I swear!) and I think this one is my favorite. Can't wait to take my next class w/ Josh

This class was great! Instructor was laid back and made everyone feel at ease. He taught us a lot including the history of the beer styles and breweries, and what to look for when tasting a beer, but kept it very fun and entertaining the whole time.
