Cicero's Adds Second Beer School Class This Fall

With enrollment at  ‘Beer School’ overflowing, the restaurant is adding a second class time to the Beer School’s fall semester schedule.

Fall classes for Beer School begin on Wednesday, September 14. The new schedule will add an evening class from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Students may also sign up to attend the original 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. timeslot.

“We have more than 115 people enrolled in Beer School for the fall semester,” said Karen McVicker, the manager of Cicero's. “With the enrollment numbers climbing, we needed to add another class to the schedule. We also had several students tell us that offering a later class session would work better for their busy work schedules."

Beer School first opened in the summer of 2006. Classes are an hour long. Students attend classes each Wednesday for 12-week semester sessions. Fall Beer School runs from September to December.

The Beer School class syllabus includes weekly interactive discussions given by renowned brew masters. Three or four beers are featured in each session.
