BASIC-LEVEL BREWING COURSE
No prior brewing knowledge required

The Siebel Institute Master of Beer Styles & Evaluation program is designed to give professional brewers the skills they need to formulate, brew, and evaluate gold-medal beer recipes. The Master of Beer Styles & Evaluation program is composed of two Siebel Institute courses:

• Sensory Analysis for Flavor Production & Control
  Designed to give brewers the tools they need to effectively identify and control flavors and aromas in beer, the one-day Sensory Analysis course takes students through samples of flavor & aromatic compounds associated with raw materials and brewing, analyses the origins of those compounds, and gives students the knowledge required to effectively control them.
• Master of Beer Styles Course
  The Siebel Institute Master of Beer Styles course is designed to give professional brewers the skills they need to create award-winning ales, lagers and specialty beers. Using the styles guidelines created for the Association of Brewers' World Beer Cup, this course provides in-depth analysis of the techniques and technologies used to design and brew the full range of established and emerging styles.

Students can take each of the courses separately, or save on the total tuition when the two courses are taken together as the Master of Beer Styles & Evaluation program. Students completing the program will be issued a Master of Beer Styles & Evaluation certificate.

Due to the advanced nature of this program, we ask that those attending have as a minimum requirement advanced homebrewing experience (knowledge of the fermentation process especially). Those with either professional brewing experience or formal training in the equivalent of our two-week WBA Concise course will find this course highly valuable in formulating and perfecting beer for competitions such as the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival, as well as for expanding their selection of brewing styles.
