STH Vanuatu tour ends with ‘a cold one’.
Vanuatu campus Hospitality Operations and Supervision students had a different experience at the end of their recent tour of the Tusker Brewery, when Tusker generously provided a ‘party keg’ (a portable draft beer system), complete with a 30litre keg of beer, and a Trainer to demonstrate how to properly pour a draft beer.
Students were able to practice pouring beer, and as STH Trainer, Marc Warin reports, ”We were all able to enjoy a ‘cold one’ on a Friday afternoon after another busy week at school.”
The tour of the brewery was part of study units, Develop and update hospitality industry knowledge, Develop and update food and beverage knowledge, Promote products to customers units, and Operate a bar unit.
After giving a brief but thorough overview of the Tusker Group of companies, their products and the process of making beer, Tusker Brewery General Manager, Lionel Ramana, escorted the students on a detailed tour of every aspect of the brewery, including the bags of malt, hops and sugar, the cooking vessels, fermentation and stabilisation tanks, the bottling, labelling and packaging facilities, as well the quality control laboratory and the warehouse area. The tour also included a tour of the CO2 plant that produces the gas used to make fizzy drinks.
“This was a fascinating and informative way to convert the theory of the classroom into cold hard knowledge,” said Marc.
