NCBeer Hosts the First Brewing Education Summit

This week, the NC Craft Brewers Guild hosted the first ever NC Beer + Brewing Education Summit in Charlotte, NC. The Summit was designed with the intention of bringing together the educators of North Carolina's craft brewing education programs from across the state, to promote communication, cooperation, and partnership between institutions.

This inaugural summit involved conversation which provided an overview of each program, the challenges and successes experienced, and a discussion of future program goals. Participants enjoyed the opportunity to meet one another, share experiences, develop a network of contacts, and brainstorm ways in which we can cooperatively help facilitate the growth of brewing education in our state. Stay tuned as we work together to develop cohesive educational resources for the benefit of North Carolina's brewing community. 

Do you work with a craft brewing program in NC?  Want to be involved? Contact Jasmine Bamlet, and we will make sure you receive notice regarding future meetings of the newly formed NC Craft Beer Educators' Council. 

Many thanks to Deutsche Beverage for hosting our event in Charlotte, and to Charlotte Brewery Tours and Artisanal Brewing Ventures for our afternoon tour of the cooperative Southern Tier & Victory Brewing Companies.
