Siebel Institute brings brewing courses to the School of Hospitality at Metropolitan State University of Denver

As part of its 150th anniversary celebration, Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago recently announced that it is bringing two of its brewing-related courses to Colorado this summer, hosted at the School of Hospitality at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

The Siebel Institute Brewing Microbiology Course (July 11-21, 2022) offers nine days of intensive technical theory and hands-on laboratory activity at MSU Denver, marking the return of this important course to the USA for the first time in 20 years. Along with the Microbiology Course, the new five-day World Brewing Academy (WBA) Fundamentals of Brewing Technology Course (July 18-22, 2022) is perfect for those looking to enter commercial brewing or for those working in the brewing industry who have no prior professional-level brewing education.

“We are excited to be working with the team at the School of Hospitality, MSU Denver in bringing Siebel brewing education closer to the ever-expanding Colorado craft brewing scene,” said John Hannafan, Vice-President of Siebel Institute.

Eric D. Olson, Ph.D., chair in the School of Hospitality at MSU Denver added, “This is such a great opportunity for students not only to learn from Siebel and MSU Denver’s Beer Industry Program, but to experience first-hand Colorado and its extraordinary brewing and beer culture.”
