Our Story

The World Brewing Academy (WBA) was established in 2001 as an alliance between Doemens Academy (Munich, Germany) and Siebel Institute of Technology (Chicago, USA) in order to provide students with a truly international brewing education by combining the knowledge and expertise of these two long-standing educational institutions.



The core of the WBA approach is an intensive combination of theory and practice. Starting in at the Siebel Institute of Technology campus in Chicago, students obtain the necessary theoretical base that would allow them to better understand the brewing process. The program then takes students to the Doemens campus in Munich, where they can deepen this accrued knowledge and put into practice. This multi-national approach, supported by experienced brewmasters on both campuses, allow students the unique opportunity to experience different brewing cultures on two continents.

THE TWO WORLD BREWING ACADEMY PARTNERS
SIEBEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Chicago, United States of America

Founded in 1872 by Dr. J. E. Siebel, the Siebel Institute of Technology’s objective is, in the founder’s own words, to promote progress of the brewing industry “based on fermentation, which is done by instruction, investigation, analysis and otherwise.” True to this promise, the Siebel Institute of Technology rapidly became one of the world’s most respected brewing schools and analytical laboratories.

Today, the Siebel Institute of Technology is recognized as one of the world leaders in brewing education. As a forward-thinking organization with a global mindset, the Siebel Institute of Technology, in conjunction with Doemens Academy of Munich, Germany, created a joint educational entity with the goal to give brewers from around the globe the technical knowledge they would need in order to be fully prepared to solve the daily challenges encountered in the brewing industry. The result of this joint effort was the development of the World Brewing Academy, offering both dual-campus/ dual continent and web-based educational offerings, designed to offer students a robust technical brewing educational experience in a fast-track learning environment.
