University District brews-and-brats bar Shultzy’s has introduced a monthly beer education class. This Wednesday, March 3 the subject is pale ales and IPAs. Your teacher is Mike Baker, who helped start local microbrewery Baron Brewing (he has since sold his share) but now toils for Pacific Beverages and is one of the four members of Seattle Beer Collective—the group that organizes Seattle Beer Week.

Classes are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 6pm and are limited to 25 people, so to attend you must reserve and pay the $20 tuition in advance. If you can’t go this month, sign up for a class on German beers in April or weisse beers in May.
