Introduction to the science and technology of brewing

Which path does every beer actually follow during its creation? It begins as a stalk of grain in the field and passes through numerous stations until the perfectly poured beer is ready. The certificate program “Brewer Cursus Weihenstephan” offers a comprehensive introduction to all areas of brewing: from the science of raw materials to the technology of malt and beer preparation and quality control to the bottled end product. The experienced lecturers combine traditional craft with state-of-the-art technology and the latest scientific findings with practical experience. The online modules are supplemented by an attendance block at the Weihenstephan research brewery and an excursion to traditional breweries. In this way, the participants experience brewing technology in all its facets and are well prepared for future challenges in brewing.
