Course details
Draft beer is any beer that is served from a cask or keg. With more than 196 million barrels of beer consumed each year, it's no wonder this beverage is the third-most-popular drink on earth after water and tea! Old school movies might show you cracking open a barrel with your mug of choice but with today's technology, you can save your cup (and the beer) by using beer systems to help you store, maintain and pour pint after pint. So why not pour yourself a cold one and press play?
In this Draft beer operations online course, CEO and Head Draft Specialist, Lev Katsouba, will help you learn the ins and outs of draft beer systems so you can pour the perfect pint every time.
