2023 CAMPUS OFFERING CONDUCTED AT WHITE LABS IN ASHEVILLE, NC!

The 5-day WBA Fundamentals of Brewing Technology Course will provide students with the primary foundations of the brewing process at an intermediate level. Within a very short timeframe, students will gain a level of brewing knowledge that will benefit them immediately in the brewery.

Description

The WBA Fundamentals of Brewing Technology course targets only the core topics from our more thorough WBA Concise Course in Brewing Technology. The subject matter was carefully selected based on what is considered to be essential brewing knowledge, important to both professional brewers and experienced homebrewers alike. The concept was born out of an increasing demand for a shorter intermediate-level educational offering for those with limited time and finances. The content was designed by the instructional teams of the Siebel Institute in Chicago and Doemens Academy in Munich, two of the world's leading brewing schools. Presentations are delivered by experienced instructors and subject matter experts from Siebel Institute, America's leader in brewing education. While short in duration, this ungraded course offers a depth of information that will benefit brewers at any level.

Of importance, if in the future a WBA Fundamentals of Brewing Technology student would like to enroll in the full WBA Concise Course in Brewing Technology, the tuition paid for the WBA Fundamentals of Brewing Technology will be applied towards a tuition reduction for the WBA Concise Course in Brewing Technology, taken either online or campus.
