Complete beer and wine certification courses at Austin Bartending School — included in your tuition, divided into two comprehensive programs.
The Course
As a bartender, you need to know how to mix fabulous cocktails — but also be expert in beer and wine for patrons who appreciate these beverages. The training is divided into two separate courses.
After completing both courses, you will receive a certification for each — credentials that bar managers are actively seeking.
Austin's bar market has gone through a remarkable transformation. What was once a college-bar town is now home to nationally recognized craft cocktail programs, the highest concentration of live music venues in America, and a tech-boom influx of high-earning professionals who demand quality drinks.
What You Learn
Exploration of wine and how it is made, grape varietals and food pairing, wine regions, and the proper serving — storage, bottle presentation, opening, and the pour.
How beer is made, aged, and what ingredients differentiate styles. Different glassware for beer and pairing beer with certain foods.
Distillation process, ingredients, and regions. After completing this lesson you will be able to distinguish a liqueur from a cordial.
Naming your bar equipment, different glassware you will serve cocktails in, and what garnishments accompany each cocktail.
Different mixing techniques for rocks drinks, shooters, coffee drinks, martinis, and frozen drinks — demonstrated behind an actual bar.
You will receive a certification at the end of each course — credentials that all bar managers seek in a professional bartender.
