Marketing...what about....https://www.urbandistilleries.ca/distil ... aQoddrcPfg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

Classes in May, June and July, as the classes fill up and they have more interest they put on more classes. They are supposed to be running some classes again in PEI as well for those of us on the east coast. (already asked for availability and price but it's on their website if you look)

Like I said though, good marketing by the Ontario guys, "we're the first" and they threw the word "global" in there for added effect. :roll:

https://www.urbandistilleries.ca/store/ ... r-workshop" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow $2895.00 for the week in July.

I was just repeating their claim that it is the first certified college program in distilling. Lots of schools in both the States and Canada through distilleries offer training programs. Actually we have a college in the State of Washington that offers a program to prepare students for a recognized exam to certify distillers.
