Brewing Laboratory Science

Program Overview

College of Natural and Health Sciences

The Brewing Laboratory Science minor is designed for students who wish to obtain an understanding of beer brewing at the microbrewery or industrial scale or for those interested in a career in the beer brewing industry. Students will obtain broad exposure to the diversity of brewing science and focus on the application of theoretical knowledge to the analysis of beer and its components. Significant laboratory work in the minor provides a strong background in the American Society of Brewing Chemist methods of beer analysis.

Students must obtain a "C-" or better in all courses that count for the minor. A strong background in science (biology, chemistry, and physics) is recommended prior to taking courses in brewing science.
