Under Chef Amal’s steady guidance, the class moves from whipped meringue to precisely piped shells, the rhythm of folding and tapping mirroring the brewery’s measured pour behind you.
French macarons arrived in Atlanta through culinary curiosity and a growing artisan food scene; here they meet the city’s craft-beer culture. The shells you make rely on technique—egg whites, powdered sugar, almond flour—and on small environmental factors: humidity that can slow drying, ovens that run hot. Atlanta’s brick-and-beam brewery spaces, repurposed from industrial pasts, lend an urban grain to the lesson, while nearby neighborhoods contribute fresh dairy and seasonal flavors to ganache recipes.
Expect a two-hour, hands-on session where you’ll learn batter consistency, piping spacing, and ganache assembly. Chef Amal demonstrates common failure modes—undermixed batter, overbaked shells—and how to fix them. Practical pointers include testing small batches, resting shells for a dry ‘skin,’ and timing bakes to match your oven.
Plan to arrive early to check in, communicate dietary restrictions ahead of time, and keep expectations realistic: macarons are a precise bake, but the class emphasizes repeatable techniques you’ll use at home. Bring a sealed container to take finished macarons with you, and consider staying after to sample a local tap—sweet and hoppy pairings are part of the experience.
