The World Brewing Academy turns 20

Anniversary | It has been 20 years since Siebel Institute and Doemens Academy began their collaboration with the vision to offer students a unique international educational experience.

In an interview published by the Siebel Institute, Dr. Michael Zepf, Managing Director of the Doemens Savour Academy, talks about the developments since 2000, how the program has expanded since then (today, students can choose from a variety of course offerings, from the entry-level Executive Overview of the Brewing Process online course and the intermediate level Concise Course in Brewing Technology to the advanced programs such as the International Diploma in Brewing Technology and the Master Brewer program) and the changes regarding the American and German sites (the Siebel Institute has moved into a new building in Chicago, and Doemens Academy is rebuilding in Munich-Gräfelfing this fall).

According to Zepf, the education at two renowned brewing institutes on two continents is truly unique, as it combines “old” and “new” world perspectives on the teaching of brewing technology. The wealth of experience of the lecturers of both faculties is a guarantee for students looking for up-to-date professional development opportunities due to the unequivocal acceptance of the WBA by the worldwide brewing industry.
