Hop College – Style Analysis: Spring Beers

The taps are on, the beer is pouring, and class is back in session – virtually! Expand your beer knowledge from the comfort of your home at Hop College: Style Analysis. This month’s focus? Spring Beers! Join Certified Cicerone® Great Lakes Brewing Co. staff as we crack open the history of springtime staples, and taste these most refreshing styles of beer!

Students who enroll in Hop College: Style Analysis will head to the virtual “classroom” where Certified Cicerone®️ Great Lakes Brewing Co. staff will help you tap into a deeper understanding of various springtime styles with a guided tasting complete with sensory analysis, a rundown of the history of the style, the stories behind GLBC’s versions, and more during this crash course on all things hops! There won’t be any textbooks, but we will have plenty of beer to help enhance your learning. We will be tasting:

Crushworthy Lo-Cal Citrus Wheat

Mexican Lager with Lime

Rally Drum Premium Lager

Dortmunder Gold Lager

Each General Admission ticket will include one can of each beer, so feel free to have a study buddy join you! Students who enroll will receive a special Hop College branded tulip glass (pictured below.) Feel like adding on some extracurriculars? We have plenty of other beer to-go available at the Gift Shop – and the Brewpub has reopened with limited hours for any of your to-go food or crowler needs! Please check greatlakesbrewing.com for current Brewpub hours.

Add-on tickets are also available for an exclusive Hop College notebook and GLBC pen (pictured below the tulip glass.)

Graduate at the bottom of your glass at Hop College, where our virtual taproom is your classroom!
