Good Pressure Beer School: Summer Series

 Summer School should be fun, so we’re inviting you to Good Pressure Beer School! In this 3-part series, we’re taking a deep dive into the key components of beer—from how beer is made, to how to properly taste and pair it, and more. During each class, we’ll spend 90-minutes discussing and tasting what we love. 

Each class of this Summer Series will be led by Erik Fowler, Good Pressure Brewing Co. Co-Founder and Certified Cicerone. With over 15 years in the craft beer industry, Erik has taught beer classes to both professionals and enthusiasts all over the U.S., and was most notably an instructor for U.C. San Diego and San Diego State University's beer programs.
