How to Write About Beer (& Other Things)

We all enjoy food and drinks. But how can you write about them in a way that transcends “really good,” “awesome,” and “delicious”?

In this workshop taught by Hop Culture magazine editor in chief and cofounder Kenny Gould, you’ll learn how to write tantalizing descriptions that also tell a story about that special bite or brew. Whether you’re a novice blogger, an aspiring reviewer, or a full-time critic, the workshop will help you break out of descriptive clichés and effectively convey an experience through writing. Although the skills learned in this one-of-a-kind workshop are geared toward beer writing, they can be applied to any type of descriptive writing.

This two-hour workshop, organized by the Creative Nonfiction Foundation, will consist of instruction, writing prompts, and guided planning on how to use your new skills, plus a free beer tasting.
