Course Overview

This course, formerly the "Brewery Engineering and Utilities Course," will teach the science, technology, engineering, and design of brewery systems, as well as maintenance practices, considerations of brewing and utility processes, and packaging systems. During this course, you will be exposed to individual key components that make up a brewery’s many processing systems and learn to recognize the attributes that can be utilized to optimize, troubleshoot, and maintain them. Acquire a greater understanding of the appropriate maintenance and engineering technology principles that define the groundwork for brewing, utility, and packaging system design and operation, as well as the necessary processes involved.

Attendees will be expected to access the assigned weekly course content via our online learning platform on their own from Sunday through Thursday. The class will meet on Friday's with subject matter experts to further reinforce the weeks topics.
