Beer and Bacon

One of today's Living Social deals for Detroit is a set of I Wish Lessons for 'Beer and Bacon' ($20, regularly $45). Per their website, "Green-light the beer and bacon experience and you'll learn about the history, background, and finer points of the beers you're tasting while pairing each sip with bacon."

I took their Complex Beers Course and had a great time, and am seriously considering signing up for this course.

Complex Beers Course at Kuhnhenn

Today's Living Social deal for Detroit features the Complex Beer Course from I Wish Lessons for $20 (regularly $40). This course will be held at Kuhnhenn's, an awesome brewery near 13 Mile and Mound Road in Warren.

According to Living Social "Complex Beers goes beyond your typical domestic draft and teaches the creation process, history, economics, and etiquette of beer. A far cry from Home Economics, this deal will put you at the head of the class -- or the beer in your glass."

I signed up for this course when it was held at the WAB in Ferndale, it was very interesting. We were given beer samples and the instructor talked about the different flavors and possible food pairings. It's a great way for beginners to learn more about beer and which ones appeal to their palate.

And if you like this course you can sign up for the more advanced course, Beer and Bacon.

Happy beering!
