Join us for this week-long course where industry experts will define the what, why, and how of quality brewing and measures that should be used by brewers large and small. Taught by industry experts from companies leading the way in brewing quality control and analysis at the craft level, newer and smaller brewers will leave with the essentials for creating a lasting quality program.

This second annual workshop offered by ASBC in conjunction with Colorado State University will combine educational lecture and hands on laboratory work to give attendees the tools to demystify the quality process. This course will take place on the CSU campus and will incorporate brewery visits around Fort Collins and one night will be an out of town experience for an ASBC LABS meeting. Attendees will be working alongside industry experts in a lab setting to incorporate the knowledge learned in the classroom with real world lab experience.
