If the only summer drinks you know how to prepare consist of Arnold Palmer tea and lemonade’s, or perhaps a Zima with a Jolly Rancher tossed in for pizazz, then kickstart your drink-making mojo with our DIY Mixology: Learn to Brew Ginger Beer class!  Award-wining winemaker and brewer Scott Mansfield will show you the necessary steps and ingredients to brew your own batch of ginger beer at home.  Get ready to peel some ginger, boil some wort, and prepare your first batch for fermentation.  And, rather than making you sit at Workshop for a week while the fermentation process takes place, Scott will bring in a batch that has already been fermenting under his watchful eye for the previous week.  You will walk out with four 12-ounce bottles of ginger beer from the first batch.  Oh, and did I mention that you will be able to try a few samples from Scott’s batch too?  As an added bonus,  you will also leave with a little baggy of natural psychoactive herbs for use in making your own batch of "gruited" beer.
