About The Workshop

It's officially summertime in our fair city, and it's time to take to take this show on the road! Bad Academy and Persephone Brewing Company are excited to present our first field trip collaboration ever: Beer 101 on the Sunshine Coast!

We often drink loads of beer this time of year, but have you ever learned about the process or even the history behind this delicious beverage? What goes into making a pint of beer? What's the deal with non-alcoholic beer? How do different flavours come about? What's it like being a woman in brewing?

During this session, we’ll go through the history of brewing, a deep look into the brewing process, a sensory analysis (malt and hops), touring the farm and facilities, and end with a guided beer tasting where you can hang out as long as you like and enjoy the wonders of the Persephone compound!


We're beyond stoked to be offering this workshop and the option to travel with us to the Sunshine Coast for a wonderful day of learning, drinking, and fun. Bring your friends (and make new ones on the way!) and make a weekend of it!

Limited spaces available! Those needing transportation to Persephone on the sunshine coast from "Vancouver" will receive emails following admission purchase for information regarding travel logistics. NOTE: Students will need to arrange return ferries on their own!

Admission includes:

  • 2 hour workshop, tour, and tasting
  • A Bad x Persephone goodie bag
  • A cute unofficial digital Sunshine Coast guide by a Sunshine Coast local so you can stay the weekend and fill it with fun (and delicious) activities!
  • Transportation from "Vancouver" to Persephone Brewing Co provided for a limited number of people (choose the right option in the dropdown menu)
