Excellent Value & Content
Tammy
This course gives you so much more than the right words to talk beer, Joanne brings killer energy to each topic, sharing a wealth of knowledge beyond just vocabulary- ingredients, processes, history, brewing, styles and more. The course is reflective of her passion and even better, she hosts a live session every week for tasting and sensory exercise. The group is fun and engaging- opening it up for questions without judgement, and leaves a lot of room for laughs. The only downside would be that it isn’t daily! I purchased the course for inspiration and a refresher on all things beer, but found much more than I was expecting. This course was motivational, educational & well worth my time.
I’ve logged nearly 1,500 beers on Untappd. So why did I need a beer course?

Before starting Joanne’s course, I was worried about whether I would really learn that much about tasting beer, given that I was a seasoned beer lover. But Build Your Beer Vocabulary taught me an extremely valuable skill: how to appreciate what I was drinking more.
Throughout the four lessons, Joanne taught us how to really think about what we were drinking and to appreciate it more. I learned a tonne of new beer knowledge, absorbed a whole new range of flavour comparisons (rich tea biscuits, anyone?) and discovered how to write a pretty nifty beer review. I’ll never give an Untappd review that just says “Banging” again! Instead, I’ll be able to explain exactly why a beer is banging or not.
I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who enjoys craft beer, no matter what level of knowledge they have. I’m off to become a beer tent VIP now, to build my learning even more!
I now feel more confident describing what I’m tasting across many different styles

I found the course both interesting and informative. I particularly liked learning in a fun, relaxed environment and Joanne was really knowledgable about every aspect of beer. I now feel more confident describing what I’m tasting across many different styles. I would recommend the course to anyone!
Love Beer Learning is Approachable and Inclusive
Carrie
This course is overall approachable and allows the participant to dive as far into the topic of building one's own beer vocabulary as each individual wants. By offering in person and online options to this course, Love Beer Learning reaches more people. JoAnne makes each participant feel included as she interacts with us during the course. I feel she has a very strong knowledge of learning styles which allows her to help the individuals to feel more listened too during her instruction. So many times courses like this make a person feel like they don't know what they are talking about. Joanne allows time to listen to questions and researches answers if she does not know them first-hand. Overall Love Beer Learning really does what its website title say: first shares in a person's love of beer then helps the individual grow and learn in their knowledge. Thanks for creating a course which is diverse, approachable and inclusive to all of us beer drinkers wherever we are on our beer journey.
Love Beer Learning
Karen
Before starting the course my beer vocabulary was fairly limited to describing things as ‘hoppy’ ‘malty’ ‘thin’ or ‘flat’. With Love Beer Learning I not only increased my vocabulary but also my understanding of what I was tasting and where the flavours come from and it has given me much greater confidence in talking and writing about beer! The course was really fun and relaxed, especially the sensory lessons and the small group format was really friendly. Would highly recommend Joanne and Love Beer Learning.
