A New Era: From the IBD to the CIBD
This year’s Presidential Dinner marked a significant milestone, as we transition to become the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers beginning in January 2025.
IBD and CIBD AGM Results
We thank all our members who took part in this significant moment for our community by voting. The AGMs was an opportunity for our members to understand the key changes at the IBD as we finalise our transition to the CIBD.
Master Operations Management with the IBD's First Short Course Series
When considering a career in the beverage industry, many of us were enticed in by the waft of sweetness from a freshly made mash, the heady scent of the angels’ share or the feeling of pride at seeing our perfectly dressed bottle on a supermarket fixture.
Master the knowledge, unlock your potential, and advance in your career with the IBD qualifications
IBD qualifications are recognised by employers as the gold standard in the industry.

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.
