Get Your MBA - Master of Beer Appreciation!

Thanks for your interest in these Beer MBA classes. Hopefully this page will answer all your questions and provide the information you need to decide to join in the fun. If you still require any additional information, don't hesitate to contact us .

For more information on the BJCP Study Groups and becoming a BJCP judge, please sign up for the email list to receive information as it becomes available. I typically conduct these classes and administer an exam once per year, but several things are currently happening. The BJCP is working on changing the format of the exam and structure of the program, so we are waiting to see when this will be implemented, plus I videotaped the last study group I did and I'm hoping to make it available as an online program. My goal is that with the online videos to cover the technical subject matter, that participants could then just take my regular Beer MBA classes and perhaps one additional class for the tasting portion knowledge. Things are still being worked out on this, so sign up for the email list and you will be kept informed.

Current Class Schedule

More Than Just a Tasting

This is a unique opportunity for people at all knowledge levels to learn more about the World's Classic Beer Styles. As we sample each beer, we'll briefly discuss its origin, history and what makes it unique. This is a fun experience. Don't miss it!

• Designed for Everyone (must be 21 years of age)

• Flexible Schedule - Take Any Class in Any Order (after attending a Class 1)

• Take All 3 Classes and Get Your "MBA Certificate"

• Only $50 per 3-hr Class (includes free samples of all beers)

• Discounts available:
  • Sign up for all 3 classes for $135 total

Note: Specific beers may need to be substituted due to the availability of unique styles, but each class will always have a similarly interesting line-up.

Additional Information

• Samples are spaced out well to avoid overindulgence, but designated drivers are always encouraged. Since the education is what is being paid for, designated drivers may not participate in the class in any way, but there is an area where they can comfortably sit and wait.

Current classes are scheduled as follows (note that more may be added or these may need to be eliminated due to demand or schedule conflicts. If a class is rescheduled you will receive a full refund or be placed in a different class at your discretion):

NEW LOCATION - I will be trying a new Payless Liquors location in Carmel, located at 726 Adams Street. This location is a little hard to find, but it is a great newer store with a similar layout and a beautiful tasting room. To get there, from Meridian Street just north of I-465, head East on West Carmel Drive past the Meijer. Stay on West Carmel Drive as it winds around heading towards Carmel. Look for a strip center on the North / East side of West Carmel Drive and turn on Adams and then into the parking lot. If you get to City Center Drive, you went a little too far, but West Carmel Drive, City Center Drive and Adams Street make a loop, so turn on City Center Drive and look again for Adams. Please park in the back of the parking lot away from the other businesses since you will be there for a while. To get to the upstairs tasting room, go to, and through, the Wine Cellar to the door and the stairs leading to the tasting room.
