The course is designed for brewers pursuing a wider knowledge of professional brewing standards and techniques to advance their brewing careers as well as individuals planning to enter the brewing industry. Each WBA Concise Course in Brewing Technology scholarship includes a $1,500 stipend to help offset travel and lodging expenses.
