Continuing beer education: "Here's to Beer" non-credit IUS course returns in October.

My last "Here's to Beer" course was profiled in the IUS Horizon earlier this year: wordpress.com/2010/03/07/non-credit-course-educates-students-on-history-of-beer/" rel="bookmark">Non-credit course educates students on history of beer.

Another enrollment period is underway.

Yes, you must be 21, and with that detail out of the way, next up is October, with class dates on the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th, all Wednesdays, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and at our original location, the NABC Pizzeria & Public House at 3312 Plaza Drive (just off Grant Line Road) in New Albany. For $65, you get four class sessions, beer samples, and a mode of presentation that hasn't yet devolved to power point. It's oral history, sometimes incisive, other times rambling. Live with it.

Get on board by going to the Indiana University Southeast web site.

Course veterans: We decided to postpone the advanced level until spring, because the fall's booked solid with events for me to contend with. Here's to Beer 200 probably will run in February or March. Stay tuned.
