Classes haven’t even started and they’re already doling out the homework: Bring in receipts for the beer from the previous week to win more free beer.

Also, upon graduation, if you have a stellar attendance record (attend at least 10/12 classes), you’ll receive a card which gets you $1 off every beer at Happy Gnome and 10% off large format bottles at the Ale Jail for the next semester and $1 off beer school beers in the week following a class.
