A One of a Kind Program
The Eastfield Brewery program is the only one of its kind in the southern region of the United States. It produces highly qualified employees who meet the demand for certified brewers in the booming craft beer industry in Texas and the region. The program achieves this through face-to-face, online and hybrid instruction. Specifically, the Journeyman Brewer program directly partners with more than 20 local breweries that provide live learning labs at their facilities for 40% of the program's instruction, with the other 60% happening at Eastfield in a traditional classroom setting. Since its creation, the Eastfield Brewery program has produced a 98% job placement rate, and it will continue to do so by expanding its partnerships. The pairings of these classes create a pipeline that enables the hobby-beer-lover to become a head brewmaster and/or craft beer business owner.
