Beer accounts for $105.9 billion in sales in the U.S., compared to an estimated $50 billion for wine, and is an expected addition to restaurant beverage menus.

A recent Nielsen survey found that 71 percent of craft beer appreciators consider how a beverage will complement their meal when ordering at restaurants and bars.

The CraftBeer.com Beer & Food Course infuses a competency in cuisine and craft beer pairing that empowers educators, chefs and food and beverage professionals to create menus that rise to meet restaurant-goers’ demands and expectations. 

“In many cases, beer is now on the same level playing field as wine and spirits,” said Chef Adam Dulye, co-author of the CraftBeer.com Beer & Food Course and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. “Chefs are starting to recognize all the possibilities with beer and how it can pair and elevate the dining experience.”

“Small and independent craft brewers’ beers have helped beer reclaim its place at the table and we’ve hit a stride with how the beverage is treated in kitchens and on menus,” added Julia Herz, publisher, CraftBeer.com, co-author of the CraftBeer.com Beer & Food Course and certified Cicerone®.

“By increasing comprehension of beer styles, pairing principles and presentation, we are elevating the confidence of cooks and retailers to better incorporate beer into all aspects of the culinary experience.”
