Virginia has become known for its craft brewing. Even before C+R Research named Virginia among the top six states for growth since 2015 in the craft brewing industry, we knew the industry was growing.
In response, the University of Richmond has partnered with Virginia Tech and local Roanoke-area breweries to offer the state’s premier brewing education program in Roanoke.
University of Richmond & Virginia Tech’s Beer Brewer Professional Certificate
Our Beer Brewer Professional Certificate is designed for those seeking to enter into the craft beer industry, or to advance an existing brewing industry career. The year-long program includes 11 instructional modules and 4 hands-on field experiences.
