San Franciscans are lucky to have educational opportunities like the Boothby Center for the Beverage Arts. Over the last year — since it debuted during SF Cocktail Week — it has played host to a slew of classes, tastings, and events regarding all things drink. Of course, cocktails and spirits are heavily represented, but founder H. Joseph Ehrmann also envisions coffee classes, tea and wine seminars — and more — for the future of his Mixology 101 series. With classes like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" and "When It's Cocktail Time in Cuba" (a journey through Cuba's cocktail and rum heyday), learning was never so much — hic! — fun.
