Take the ultimate test with the Abbot Beer Diploma, the nation’s first free online beer qualification at www.abbotale.co.uk. Its gets better still with the first 100 scholars earning their very own £10 student grant to help subsidize further ‘study’. Passing the diploma is certainly a challenge, with sections covering Beer History and Folklore, Brewing and Beer Ingredients, Beer Storage and Serving Techniques and of course Beer Tasting. Those who pass get their own personalized downloadable certificate and are inducted into the Abbot Alumni. Good luck to all those taking up the challenge.

If you take the test before Christmas you’ll be entered into a draw to win your very own £10 student grant to go towards your ‘study’.
