Beer University Opens in Livonia

"What was your major in college?" "Beer." "Yeah sure. Mine too." "No really."

Since college days and beer go hand-in-hand, why not? What's next, college beer-pong teams?

"Schoolcraft College’s renowned culinary arts department is headed to the bar. The Livonia-based community college is offering a brewing and distillation certificate, starting this fall.

The 24-credit program will train fledgling brewers in various skills with courses like brewing science, brewhouse operations and technology, beer styles and flavors and more.

The college plans to invest $1 million into a seven-barrel brewing system to create an on-campus brewery and lab with a capacity to make 217-gallon batches of beer."

We had the coolest High School Chemistry teacher in the world. She taught us all how to make rum. Not just in theory, but we actually made rum in class. [[Couldn't drink it though.)

I always wondered how she got approval for that experiment. Maybe she didn't! ;)
