Beer School at the Bottle Shop

Beer School has long been an opportunity to learn a little something about the beer we love to serve at Local 44.

There is now a donation required
to attend Beer School. 
You can “pay what you wish”, but you have to pay something.

100% of your Beer School donation goes directly
to Share Our Strength, an organization that aims to end
childhood hunger in our community and across the country.

As always, samples of each beer we will discuss
are being offered as our treat to you during the class.

Due to space constraints, we limit Beer School
sessions to the first 20 people in the door.

No child should grow up hungry in America, but one in five children struggles with hunger. Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign is ending childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need, every day.

Can’t attend Beer School but want to make
a donation to Share Our Strength?
