It would be interesting to hang out with Randy Mosher, Ray Daniels, Chris White and Chris Graham for five days and play with the more sophisticated homebrewing systems.  I couldn't personally justify the $2K price tag on the basis of learning/improving homebrewing skills, but if you have the dough then I can't think of a class with better teachers and five days won't disrupt your life too much.

I agree that Chicago is a hotbed of craft beer activity, lots to experience and I enjoy my too-infrequent excursions there.

It's been several years since they offered it IIRC. Too bad it isn't going to be in Durango any more.

I'd love to be able to do a week long class at Seibel. I think it would be a lot of fun, not to mention I'd probably learn a thing or two while I was there.  :)

I hear nothing but good things about Seibel. They have a very respectable brewery program and a lot of very talented brewers have come out of that school.
