What better place to learn the art of home brewing and connect to Newark’s beer-making history than the “house that beer built”? The historic Ballantine House, a wing of the Newark Museum of Art, was built in 1885 for Jeanette and John Holme Ballantine of the celebrated Newark beer-brewing family. Kendall Alverez Eskew and Diana Arinovich, of The Thirsty Quaker, lead participants through the brewing and bottling process and a well-deserved tasting of various brews.
Additionally, the course includes a gallery tour to inspire your own D.I.Y. bottle labels, a tour through the historic Ballantine Mansion, and two cases of your creation to share with friends and family. No experience necessary.
Also, in collaboration with GlassRoots, participants will create an etched pint-glass with a unique design of your own, using the glass-design method of sandblasting. GlassRoots instructors will guide you in the creation of your design, using both hand-cut and computer-assisted stencil-masking techniques, and will then sandblast your design into the glass; a process where the surface of the glass is scarred or etched with fine grains of sand and compressed air. Since no heating or cooling is required for this process, all participants will take home their finished pint glass the same night.
Kendall and Diana have over a decade of experience fermenting beer, wine, mead, whiskey, kombucha, cheese and more. He co-founded the Jersey City Brew Club in 2010, and in 2014 they opened The Thirsty Quaker - Hudson County's only homebrew supply shop and a craft beer paradise.
Courses will run as scheduled only if minimum enrollment is met. If not, all registered participants will be notified within one week of first class and registration fees will be refunded.
