Revolution in the beer world: wset launches fresh and versatile certifications
The prestigious educational entity dedicated to drinks, known for its great influence on formation on wines and distilled, has decided to take a bold step towards a universe that in many cases has been considered only as history or culture: beer. As of February 2024, it will launch two certification levels specifically designed for those who want to understand the art, science and pleasure of each sip.
A program with global vision and practical details
Prepared by the Wset Educational Innovation Team, under the direction of the ingenious Sara Hobday, these courses will have the support of experts who add decades of experience. Among them, Mirella Amato, recognized consultant and holding the prestigious Master Cicerone distinction in only 22 cases worldwide. The intention is not only to teach, but to create a universal reference standard that raises knowledge about beer to unsuspected levels.
Beyond mere consumption: deep knowledge and skills for fans and professionals
These certifications do not point only to experts in the field, but also to drinking lovers who seek to expand their understanding and improve their tasting techniques. From history and diverse styles, to fermentation methods, these classes offer a complete route, emphasizing pairing with different types of food and sensory evaluation.
Educational innovation with a close and adapted touch
The approach that distinguishes these courses is their teaching method, based on the systematic tasting system. This system, Wset registered brand, gives students a unified technical language and a practical structure to analyze the sensory perception of a beer without depending on particular prejudices or experiences. The modality will be hybrid, combining virtual classes with face -to -face sessions in strategic places such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia.
Comments and perspectives of the creators
Michelle Brampton, executive director of WSET, comments with enthusiasm that opening the doors of beer specialization reflects its commitment to innovation and leadership in beverage education worldwide. The idea is that each participant can feel that, beyond a simple drink, he is entering a world of history, technique, aromas and flavors that only with adequate training can be explored thoroughly.
For its part, Sara Hobday emphasizes that the process of building these courses has been a real challenge and a source of inspiration. The key is to enhance the trust of those who enjoy beer to analyze, understand and appreciate it from a more technical and enriching perspective, with a very pedagogical and practical approach. Soon, these programs will be available for those who wish to improve their skills and knowledge, either for professional reasons or simply by passion.
Looking forward: a new era for foam lovers and aromas
The launch of these certifications opens a new chapter in a universe that until now seemed limited to specific sectors. The tasting, history and pairing will no longer be for experts; Any enthusiastic with curiosity can deepen the art of beer and, perhaps, discover talents or hidden passions. As demand grows and training becomes more accessible, handmade breweries and gastronomy schools can expect a wave of more informed professionals and passionate about the drink that unites us so much in different events and celebrations.
