Beer Brewer Professional Certificate

Richmond has become known for its craft brewing. Even before Vinepair named Richmond the world’s top beer destination for 2018, we knew RVA was the place to explore the craft brewing industry.

In response, the University of Richmond has partnered with dozens of local breweries to offer the region’s premier brewing education program.
