Craft Brew Guild of Grapevine Presents

Michael Luyckx Beer Class 101 & Cicerone Certified Beer Server Preparatory Class

Michael is just one of 40 Certified Cicerones® in North Texas, an award-winning homebrewer and above all, a craft brew lover. He believes that beer should be enjoyed and celebrated in a fun inclusive way. According to Michael, “craft brew is everyone’s beverage and it should be easily accessible.”
