The Craft of Beer & Brewing
 
Instructor Charlie Papazian returns to Whitehead Light Station in 2012 to embark on a fourth season of his very popular beer and brewing course, newly titled The Craft of Beer & Brewing. Charlie will discuss beer and brewing and his own remarkable journey, teach program participants about brewing beer, tasting beer, cooking with beer, the history of beer, and simply enjoying beer. The five-night, six-day course (four full days on the island with days one and six being arrival and departure days) will include demonstrations, lectures, informal socializing, great meals, a huge variety of beers, a journey to nearby Maine breweries, and, as is true for all Whitehead Light Station courses, plenty of time to relax, read, and enjoy being unplugged and unhurried. Most organized activities will be in the mornings or around dinnertime. You do not have to be a devoted homebrewer to enjoy the course. There will be a maximum of 12 course participants. This is a once a year opportunity and an unparalleled journey exploring the Joys of beer & brewing from around the world. Intensified Relaxation , Responsible Enjoyment & Serious Education.
