Siebel Institute releases ‘open source’ beer recipe for its 150th anniversary (download it!)

January 3, 2023Pretty Much a Press Release

For the first time in its 150-year history, Siebel Institute of Technology has formulated a beer recipe for release as an “open source recipe” for professional and homebrewers to recreate. The official name of the beer is J.E. Siebel 1-Fifty Classic American Pilsner, named for the legendary German immigrant who established this historic brewing institute in Chicago in 1872.

The classic American-style pilsner featured in this recipe dates to before Prohibition, and its roots are entwined within the roots of the school itself. Dr. J.E. Siebel was a pioneer in the evolution of the style, which uses malted barley, corn, and both domestic and imported hop varieties to create a smooth and easy-drinking lager beer. The recipe was selected after taste testing by almost 300 participants in blind tasting panels conducted at breweries in Chicago and at Siebel itself.

The full story behind the creation of the recipe is posted in the “News” section of the Siebel website at siebelinstitute.com, where viewers can also download a copy of the recipe in PDF form right here.

“We hope to see Siebel 1-Fifty on tap at pubs and tasting rooms everywhere,” said John Hannafan, vice president and director of education of Siebel, “especially where they are brewed by any of the thousands of Siebel graduates around the world.”

The Siebel Institute of Technology has been dedicated to the enduring pursuit of brewing excellence since 1872. The organization offers education in the form of programs, courses, and individual lectures to facilitate brewing knowledge and advance brewing careers. These offerings include its World Brewing Academy (WBA) dual-continent advanced campus programs, e-learning offerings, and flexible options for all knowledge levels. Its alumni span more than 60 countries around the globe and are found in breweries large and small.
