Brewing Workshop - English Porter - Sep. 19th, 2026

Porter originated in London in the early 1700's and became highly popular with the working class people of the day. It is dark brown with ruby highlights and has bready, biscuity, and toasty malt flavour that includes mild chocolate and caramel/toffee notes. It is a very forgiving style to brew which makes it ideal for the beginner brewer.

Join us as we step through how to brew beer on a scale that you can replicate at home. Our beer-making classes provide an opportunity to get familiar with the ingredients and processes needed to make great beer, and they are designed to be hands-on so that you learn while doing. 

Who is the course designed for?

Anyone having an interest in learning how to make their own beer using standard all-grain brewing equipment. This course is suitable for beginners who have no previous brewing experience as well as intermediate brewers who are looking to improve their process.
