As a beer lover I've enjoyed thousands of great beers over the years. In doing so I've learned a fair amount about the differences in types of beer and how they're brewed, but I'd like to take the next step and brew my own.

There's a ton of information online regarding home-brewing, and it's hard to tell what's correct, what's good and what's nonsense. I'd prefer to attend a hands-on course to learn, taste and ask questions about the beer brewing process.

Here is a (in-complete, unordered) list of the places I've come across:

* [Brew Club](https://www.brewclub.uk.com/)
* [UBrew](https://ubrew.cc/)
* [London Fields Brewery](https://londonfieldsbrewery.co.uk/homebrewing-classes/)
* [London Beer Lab](http://www.londonbeerlab.com/)
* [Brewlab](http://www.brewlab.co.uk/)

Has you attended the beer brewing classes available around London? If so, which do you recommend? Why?

I'll take a stab at this... I would start with a good homebrewing book and walk through the process. [The Complete Joy of Homebrewing](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Joy-Homebrewing-Fourth-Revised/dp/0062215752) is where I started 20 years ago and it's still a great place to start.

I was also very active in my homebrew club so I would definitely reach out to them too. You can learn so much so quickly watching someone else. I think this is where you would learn a lot about beer styles and tastes.

I taught in the wine making program at a local community college for a couple of years. This school also had a brewing program.
