Read what people are saying about EBA 101:

"Gabe is a great teacher, He is quite knowledgeable when it comes to styles of beer, how to properly taste and critique beer, and also when it comes to brewing beer. I would take the class again without question and I look forward to the next one."
-Matthew Mahoney

I thought the EBA 101 class was excellent. Very educational yet fun! Even my girlfriend was commenting on how much fun it was. The class covered all the basics a novice or intermediate home brewer would need to appreciate and evaluate home made and commercial beers.
-Alex Macdonald

“EBA 101 was great. The best part was being with some folks who enjoy learning and sharing about beer in a non-competitive relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was open to new experiences - that made it fun. Thanks for the opportunity to participate. I'll be there for EBA 202 - and hope everyone from our group will be there as well.”

- Dwight Littlefield


"Simply put, this class is for anyone who loves beer. The historical background and sampling of quality beers from around the world is worth the cost of the class by itself. Meeting other brewers and sharing brewing tips, recipes etc. make this class a must for every homebrewer."

-Gary Best

“I thought your class was fantastic!! Much info was learned from Gabe,
our instructor. There was also a lot of idea sharing from everyone in
the class. Am ready for EBA 202 whenever you are. Thanks for a great
class!”
