Included in Tuition
Complete beer and wine certification courses at Houston Bartending School — included in your tuition, divided into two comprehensive programs.
The Course
As a bartender, you need to know how to mix fabulous cocktails — but also be expert in beer and wine for patrons who appreciate these beverages. The training is divided into two separate courses.
After completing both courses, you will receive a certification for each — credentials that bar managers are actively seeking.
Houston is America's energy capital — and its executives, engineers, and international visitors create a bar market that demands exceptional service. From the craft cocktail bars of Montrose to the Galleria luxury hotel bars that host global business deals, Houston's bar scene pays serious money for serious bartenders.
What You Learn
Exploration of wine and how it is made, grape varietals and food pairing, wine regions, and the proper serving — storage, bottle presentation, opening, and the pour.
How beer is made, aged, and what ingredients differentiate styles. Different glassware for beer and pairing beer with certain foods.
Distillation process, ingredients, and regions. After completing this lesson you will be able to distinguish a liqueur from a cordial.
Naming your bar equipment, different glassware you will serve cocktails in, and what garnishments accompany each cocktail.
Different mixing techniques for rocks drinks, shooters, coffee drinks, martinis, and frozen drinks — demonstrated behind an actual bar.
You will receive a certification at the end of each course — credentials that all bar managers seek in a professional bartender.
