WE HAVE BEER!

New England Wine Academy is thrilled to be able to offer the brand new WSET Beer Certification program. This newly released Awards program has only just been rolled out as of February 2024, and we are one of the first in the country to bring this course to beer enthusiasts.

The Level 1 Beer Certificate provides a great intro to the world of beer. You will learn through sight, smell and taste, you’ll become familiar with a range of beer styles and how they are made. If you work with beer, you’ll be able to answer customer queries with confidence and provide helpful recommendations. If you’re learning for fun, you’ll feel inspired to explore new styles and know how to get the most out of every glass.

As with all WSET certifications, the Beer program has been developed to meet the highest level of educational needs and expectations by the drinks industry as well as global educational standards. Building on a base of theory and understanding from the ground up is key to the programs, and allows students to progress through the levels with a comprehensive foundation that complements practical tasting as well as theoretical knowledge.

Current offerings are delivered via the Canvas online educational platform, and allow students to learn at their own pace over the four weeks and six modules involved in each starting date. Students will learn how beer is made, all about the base material for making beer, including hops and yeast, and then work through modules on various beer styles and understanding their characteristics, and then round out the learning process with some tips on storage and proper service of beer. Level 1 delivers a solid foundation that will allow students to progress to higher levels.

Classes start every two weeks through the academic calendar. Please contact New England Wine Academy with any questions, and see our enrollment page using this link.
