The WBA Master Brewer program, the flagship educational offering of the World Brewing Academy, provides graduates with a level of knowledge and experience that prepares them for a full range of brewing-related roles such as head brewer, brewing supervisor, department manager, brewery owner, or any of the most sought-after positions within the brewing industry. Since its introduction in 2010 by Doemens Academy and the Siebel Institute, the WBA Master Brewer program has helped hundreds of brewers from around the globe build thriving careers in brewing.
In spring 2026, the WBA Master Brewer program will be offered completely in Munich for the first time, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the World Brewing Academy!
The scope of this full-time international 20-week brewing program is both broad and demanding. The WBA Master Brewer program is comprised of segments divided into modules, with each module specializing in a particular area of brewing technology.
The content addresses issues across the spectrum of brewing practice from an international perspective, providing students with an educational experience not offered by any other brewing school. Designed and presented by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced brewmasters and subject matter experts in brewing, our goal is to maximize student comprehension of even the most challenging topics. Conducted entirely in English, extensive practical instruction ensures that students can see the application of their science and theory instruction in real-world situations, with presentations that focus on aspects of product quality, process efficiency, and sustainable practice at every level.

Students will also experience the 2-week WBA European Brewing Study Tour, which takes participants on behind-the-scenes tours of breweries and industry suppliers to enhance their understanding of brewery operations and technology applications.
Students are responsible for their own airfare and room and board in Munich. WBA European Brewing Study Tour hotel costs are included in the price of the tuition.
