Celebrating our history, and looking forward to the future
The Institute of Brewing & Distilling marked its 138th anniversary on the 17th of March 2024. As we celebrate this milestone, we can reflect on the journey that has brought us to where we are today.
Perfect Gin Distilling with the First Ever Gin Production Course
The gin production course provides essential knowledge and best practice for gin production at a commercial scale. It introduces the all-important gin botanicals and the unsung hero, neutral spirit. It provides an in-depth review of the current knowledge of gin flavour and the methods and technologies that can be used to optimise it in the distillery. It also explains how to assess and analyse gin and its ingredients.
Dry Hopping Made Easy, Delicious and Sustainable
Done well, dry hopping can make beer a symphony of inviting fruity and floral notes, providing the kind of succulent mouthfeel that leads to a profound feeling of loss when your glass is empty.

Lead the No and Low Beer Revolution with the No and Low Alcohol Beer Production Course
As brewers, we view beer as a wonderful thing. We dedicate our lives to producing it and improving it, and consuming it fills us with joy. Beer is how we express ourselves and is something we love to share with the world. Sadly, for standard beer there are many people who can’t, don’t or won’t enjoy it because it contains alcohol. Today, thanks to years of hard work, research and experimentation it is possible to make great tasting beer without the alcohol.
