“This was a wonderful course! Mirella has laid comprehensive lessons that flow naturally and make use of any pre-existing knowledge about Food and Beer. While this course is not intended for beginners, it is a fantastic resource for anyone who takes this industry seriously. If you are studying for any higher-level Cicerone Certification or just want to improve on your pairing techniques, this course is highly recommended. Worth every penny and more!

“Through the course I developed a systematic approach to beer and food pairing. It helped me understand and organize pairing info in a logical and simple manner and now I am more mindful of the traits in beer and food and how they interact to make a synergistic pairing. I really enjoyed the course and now I have the tools to be more proficient in pairing and enjoy the beer and food pairing journey. ”

“As a woman-owned craft beer store and bar, customers ask me all the time what food to pair with their beers. This course breaks down the reasons why certain flavors work together. You'll learn simple tricks and guidelines for understanding interactions between beer and food combinations. With the tools that Mirella teaches, thinking about pairings becomes less intimidating and more intuitive. You should have a strong understanding of beer styles and be excited to dive deep into different food ingredients and dishes. This course is a must for any professionals in the craft beer industry (or even for beer enthusiasts and brewers) who want to enhance their sensory experience with beer and food. ”

“"Mastering Beer & Food Pairing" is an amazing online course that is not only informative, but engaging, and truly a must for anyone presenting beer & food pairings. I took the course in preparation for my Advanced Cicerone Exam but even as someone who has been hosting beer dinners, publishing beer pairings, and teaching beer for more than 5 years, I was able to learn new concepts and build upon my existing knowledge base. Mirella has a wealth of knowledge and I was very excited to learn from her experience and look forward to using these new strategies to improve the experiences I create.”

“Beer is such a versatile beverage. With so many different styles of beer, and so much of a variety of food, it's daunting to think about how best to go about pairing the two to show both off to their advantage. This course was fun, easy to follow, and very constructive in helping me to build a toolset to feel confident creating pairings of my own, on my own, in the real world.”

“I took the online course "Mastering Beer & Food Pairing" to get more in-depth knowledge about the topic. As a professional beer sommelier I wanted to gain more experience on a topic that was mainly covered in theory during my previous education. The online course is well structured and divided into different sections, so that I could fit them well into my schedule. The video sections are easy to understand, have very good slides and you can feel the passion that Mirella has for the topic. The quizzes and homework sections ensured, that I really digested all the input - that was a lot. But my real favourite part were the practical tasks, where I could try out everything in practice. All in all it was the best online course I have taken so far and I am grateful for the experience.”

“As an Advanced Cicerone®, I wish I had this class while prepping for Certified and above. Master Cicerone® Mirella Amato raised my awareness about pairing beyond my previous experience in food and beer. I learned how to take a systematic approach to pairing rather than relying strictly on my gut and experience. We also covered advanced strategies I hadn't considered before. This class is a must for anyone who wants to be a professional and educate or lead in the beer and food space. ”

“Mirella's beer and food pairing masterclass wasn't just a fun experience—it was foundational to a lot of knowledge I can build on as I continue to hone my pairing skills. Between the highly informative lessons, homework assignments, tasting and pairing activities, and Mirella's invaluable feedback, I feel much more confident and excited to share my love of beer and food pairings with the world.”

“As a Beer Educator, teaching beer and food pairing is always a challenge. Going over any more than the basics is tough in a short amount of time. Mirella has created an amazing tool that takes the student on a journey that builds on their knowledge from module to module, and allows them to learn in their own time, supported by easy to understand videos and exercises. The course also works for more experienced Beer Sommeliers/Cicerones as it takes food pairing skills to the next level. I would highly recommend this for anyone who loves making beer and food truly work together from new starters to seasoned pros!”

“This was an excellent course. I learned many new things in an interesting way. I'm looking forward to putting this knowledge into practice. ”

“This course includes lots of tricks that help navigate towards the true beer and food pairing journey. It gives complete and impressive data to fully grasp the full, complex spectrum of beer and food alliance !”

“I got a lot of valuable information from the class. I think I'm pretty good at pairings, but I feel like I will be even better since completing the course. It even prompted me to by Mirella's book, Beerology.”
