Four ingredients. Infinite possibilities.
Beer seems simple: malt, hops, water and yeast. But those four ingredients can create an incredible range of flavours, aromas, colours and textures.
In this hands-on NC Craft Masterclass, we'll take a closer look at the four building blocks of beer and discover how brewers use them to create everything from crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to dark, rich stouts and beyond.
We'll taste a selection of beers alongside the raw ingredients themselves, exploring what each ingredient contributes to the finished beer — and how changing the recipe, process, or proportions can completely transform what's in your glass.
You'll learn:
• What malt contributes to colour, sweetness, flavour and body
• How different hops create bitterness, aroma and flavour
• Why yeast is about much more than fermentation
• How water chemistry can influence the character of a beer
• How brewers combine these four ingredients to create different beer styles
Expect plenty of tasting, conversation and a few surprises along the way.
Whether you're a dedicated beer drinker or simply curious about how beer is made, this is an approachable and interactive way to understand what's really happening in your glass.
Includes a guided tasting of multiple beers and an educational tasting experience led by NC Craft.
