Butchery Classes
These classes are built around the work itself—understanding meat, how it’s broken down, and how to use it well.
They’re hands-on, practical, and rooted in the same approach we take every day at Pine Street Market.
What to Expect
Whole animal breakdowns and an introduction to muscle structure
Knife skills and foundational techniques
Discussion of sourcing, farming practices, and how animals are raised
Practical guidance on cooking and using different cuts
Each class is designed to be approachable, whether you’re new to butchery or looking to deepen your understanding.
Format
Classes are typically held at Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, creating a relaxed environment to learn, ask questions, and spend time around the work.
They’re informal, conversational, and designed to give you a better understanding of what goes into the food you cook and eat.
