WHAT’S A BEER IMMERSION?
Rich Higgins Beer Immersions are fun, educational beer trips. They’re equal parts European beer tours, short trips in and around regional beer cultures, and deep dives into important beer styles. As an American brewmaster and Master Cicerone, Rich has been making pilgrimages to Europe for beer travel and study for more than a decade, and you’ll feel like a local after he takes you to all his favorite restaurants, pubs, and breweries. With expertise and education, it’s more than a “beercation,” it’s a Beer Immersion!
Discount available to Cicerones® and Certified Beer Servers, too!
