Learn all the key facts about beer, wine, liquors, spirits, and whiskey, so you don't look like a newbie the next time you're in a fancy restaurant. Using the latest in cognitive science techniques, we will introduce you to the essentials of alcoholic beverages at your very own pace.
This subject's content was developed by bartending school instructors and students who asked one simple question: "What are the most important facts that anyone should know about the items behind the bar?" Over the course of more than a year, we scoured the world's best textbooks, interviewed dozens of bartenders, and surveyed hundreds of bar patrons to see what common themes kept emerging in every setting. Then we broke all the concepts down into hundreds of building blocks that are easiest for the brain to absorb.
You'll learn things like "What is the difference between an Ale and a Lager?", "What are some smart questions to ask when ordering a white wine?", and "What is whiskey distilled from?" After mastering all the cards in this subject, you'll have strong foundations for learning about many other types of adult beverages going forward. Over 10,000 learners can't be wrong!
