BAR 5-Day

BAR 5-Day The BAR 5-Day course is the world’s premiere educational program on spirits and craft cocktails. It was conceived in March 2005 over drinks in San Francisco.

The Beverage Alcohol Resource® (BAR®) BAR 5-Day course is the world’s premiere educational program on distilled spirits and mixology. Since the first 5-day course in 2006, our team of leading craft beverage and cocktail authorities has revolutionized the way in which spirits and cocktails are understood, appreciated, and enjoyed. BAR continues to be the most trusted, comprehensive, and innovative source of information on distilled spirits and mixology in the beverage alcohol industry.
