Expanding on our Crash Course, the Comprehensive Three Day Course covers the science and technology of brewing in greater depth.

Day one covers the production of beer from grain-to-glass. Day two covers topics essential to making better beer - quality control throughout the process, beer flavour analysis & troubleshooting. Day three lets the candidates loose on a production brewery as they participate in a full brew with New Bristol’s very own Head Brewer, Noel James.
