Master Brewer Examination

(formerly known as the DMB Examination)

Master Brewer Examination

The Master Brewer programme forms part of your continuous professional development. The programme of recommended experience and acquisition of competence in the technical management of the beer process is precisely detailed in the Examination Syllabus.

Progressive acquisition of the competencies described on each page builds up to a permanent personal record of achievement, yielding certified qualifications in their own right, through success in each module exam. There are five modules covering:

1. The Science of Materials & Wort
2. Fermentation & Beer Processing
3. Packaging & Beer Dispense
4. Central Functions
5. Case Study

The Diploma is a pre-requisite for sitting the Master Brewer Examination.  Applicants must have therefore passed the Diploma or gained Exemption from the Diploma (see the Exam Regulations) and be members of The Institute of Brewing & Distilling before being able to take the Examination.

It is recommended that you acquire a mentor for each element of the programme. Combined with the need for specialist tuition and training in many elements, the programme can be the ideal channel for technical training and development in the brewing industry.
