{1/23} Old-Fashioned Root Beer Making — with Stan Bailey

Friday, January 23 • 6–8pm
Ages 18+ • All materials included

Description

When winter settles in, nothing warms the heart quite like old, familiar flavors.
In this evening workshop, you’ll experience the nostalgic joy of brewing your own old-fashioned root beer, crafted with simple ingredients and time-honored methods.

Guided by Stan Bailey, you’ll learn how to mix, flavor, and bottle a small batch of homemade root beer—just like families once did around kitchen tables and general stores. It’s a cozy craft to brighten the darker months, a little fizz and spice to carry you through January.

You’ll leave with six bottles of your own brew, ready to ferment at home and share.

What You’ll Learn

• Classic root beer ingredients & flavor profiles
• Mixing + sweetening techniques
• Safe bottling practices
• Carbonation timing + storage tips
• Variations you can try at home

What You’ll Make

A six-bottle batch of old-fashioned root beer (16 oz per bottle).
