With the South Bay becoming the hot spot for beer, we all need to stay on top of our game.  Thank goodness Total Wine & More has the perfect manual for beer lovers: the Total Guide to Beer.

Total Wine and More - Total Guide to Beer

Comprehensive in its coverage of beer – terminology, ingredients, styles, and more – the Total Guide to Beer is packed with info for newbies and pros alike.  Consider it a beer drinkers handbook.

The best part: its free!  You can pick up a copy in stores, read it online, or download the app to your iOS device from iTunes.

To add a personal touch to the guide, Total Wine & More is presenting a “Styles & Smiles Beer Class” on Thursday, January 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at their Southern California Stores.

Guests will enjoy a tasting tour of the different brew styles categorized in the Total Guide to Beer.  The cost of the class is $15 per person.

Thankfully, our neighborhood Total Wine in Redondo Beach is participating! Call or stop by to make your reservations; the class is sure to fill up and walk-in sign ups are unlikely!

Cheers to beer-ducation!
