Our MISSION

Peninsulas Brewing operates on the simple principle that great beer is for everyone - in fact, we believe everyone is capable of making their own great beer. We exist to help you understand and create you own delicious beer.

STEP-by-step brewing

We guide you through the entire brewing process step-by-step during our 4-hour course. When we finish you will have brewed your very own beer. We can accommodate up to 20 people per session.

Craft Beer ANAtomy

As we brew, we will discuss beer's main ingredients (malt, hops, yeast, and water) and help you identify the taste of each. We will dissect elements that make up the many different styles of beer.

BOTTLING AND CUSTOM LABELING

After we finish brewing, we will make sure your batch is bottled and tagged with your own custom labels! You'll be able to collect your beer a few weeks after you graduate.

BRINGING HOMEBREWING TO THE PEOPLE

HOME BREWING 101: BREWING FOR BEGINNERS

We will take you all the way from recipe inception to primary fermentation during our 4-hour, hands-on tutorial. We make brewing simple for you!

​Our home brewing 101 course includes:
  1. All the supplies and equipment brought directly to you
  2. Craft beer deconstructed: in order to make great beer you have to understand it. We teach you what goes into beer and what flavors come out
  3. Guided brewing step-by-step
  4.  Your home brew, bottled with a customized label

Above all, the course will be catered to you and your interests.

We can accommodate groups of up to 20 persons.
I would gladly take this course again and would highly encourage anyone else interested in learning the basics or wants to have a fun team building, birthday party, etc to do this. You won't be disappointed!
​Oh and if you're wondering, the beer turned out great! :)
