Blogging about anything worthwhile takes time and effort and there was a time when Gazz- Bloggers were paid for their services, but that stipend went away as print-media continues to struggle with finances. One of the main reasons I remain motivated to write and blog about beer is because it helps me fulfill my mission to spread my passion for beer to anyone who wants to listen. Unlike wine, beer has to fight its way into every event above and beyond a backyard barbeque. Wine is well-spoken for with excellent advocates such as our own John Brown spreading the word of the “fruit of the vine”. I strive to do the same for “the World’s oldest man-made drink”.
Recently, a few friends of mine attended an excellent educational series offered by The Clay Center titled “The Art & Science of Wine”. Hearing of this was all I needed to approach the good folks at The Clay Center and offer to do the same for beer. I submitted a course syllabus and they actually took-me-up on my offer!
I will be conducting a four-hour adult workshop that will cover a wide range of topics on beer. The workshop will be held on Saturday March 13th from 1pm to 5pm. We will also taste several beers as well as the ingredients that make beer. I am very excited about this opportunity and I have been working diligently on my presentation.
Many of you may be interested in gaining deeper knowledge of beer or you may know someone else who is. Please spread the word! We need to fill this class for the sake of beer!

My wife and I will be making the trip down from Morgantown.
Thanks Travis, I hope you find it informative.
Sounds interesting?! I may have to go for the lesson………or ….Just for the beer!;-)
I think I’ll go as well. Although I’m not sure I’ll dig the polished environment of the Clay Center (I really prefer the garage).
