Welcome
The Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD) is a members organisation dedicated to the education and training needs of brewers & distillers and those in related industries. We do this by offering a range of internationally recognised qualifications and the training to support them, either through direct instruction or distance learning.
We communicate with our members via a monthly members magazineThe Brewer & Distiller International, and offer original scientific research papers through theJournal of the Institute of Brewing (JIB), which is available quarterly on-line and in paper format. These publications are also available at a cost to non-members, by request by clicking here.
If you have any questions, we maybe able to answer them in our Frequently asked questions here

Some hints from the IBD Examiners. Most folk - including me - don't much like exams. Likewise I'm probably on safe ground saying that failing an exam is on noone's list of things to do. So it makes lots of sense to do what you can to pass whichever IBD exam you are taking. Here are some do's and don'ts split into 'preparation' and 'during the exam'. We hope it helps.
