About

posted by john

Beer School is dedicated to teaching about beer. There are thousands of different beers around the world with thousands of people dedicated to crafting them. We want to help you the reader and the listener learn more about the beer you already love and hopefully we’ll help you find another beer that you’ll love just as much. Or maybe more.

Our team of beer drinkers have traveled the far (if you count Portand as far) sampling the local scene wherever they go. And as everyone likes different things everyone’s opinion counts. Different guest will delve into beer history, beer culture, the “industry” that makes beer, local events, brewers, beer geeks and the part of the show called “beer nuts”.

So crack open a cold one and stay tuned.
