General description

- Wondering how beer is made?

- Do you want to know more about other cultures

-Do you want to experience unforgettable trip?

If you answered yes, then our course is made for you!

Beer is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia around 4,000 B.C. The Sumerians, who once inhabited the area of ​​today's Iraq, forged on clay tablets a recipe for spelt beer. However, a real breakthrough for beer production happened during the Middle Ages, when monks were involved in brewing and improving recipes. This drink is with us to this day, though the production process is completely different.

During the course in Warsaw, we will tell you "How it’s made". We will talk about today's brewing standards and explore the subject of chemical processes occurring during production of beer.

Of course, that's not all! One does not live just to study! Duh! During the weekend, we will go on a trip together, from which you will have unforgettable memories.

Our course is also a great opportunity to visit Poland. It is a country with magnificent mountain ranges, beautiful beaches, wonderful lakes and woods - there's even a desert! Taste the unique polish pierogi, schabowy and wash it down with some żurek.
