The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling
The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) is a unique teaching and research facility. The centre is based on a partnership between industry and academics, and makes up part of the School of Life Sciences located in the Riccarton campus of Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.
The ICBD is the only organisation in the UK to offer both Honours and Masters degrees in Brewing and Distilling. As such, the centre not only supplies the industry with new-blood graduates, but with services, expertise and facilities consistent with the standards required in the local, national, and international markets. A variety of courses are available both on campus and by distance learning and short courses and workshops are catered for on request.

Brewing and Distilling USA Roadshow June 2010
Building on a heritage of more than 100 years of international brewing education, Paul Hughes, Director of
The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling will be travelling throughout the USA in June to discuss its
brewing and distilling courses and answer questions first hand.
Moving through Atlanta, GA, on to Boston, MA, Portland, OR, Denver, CO and
Louisville, KY, Paul will give a comprehensive overview of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University and the Bachelor and
Masters brewing and distilling courses available, both delivered in Scotland and by distance-learning.
Paul says,"The industry relevant nature and distinguished reputation of our
courses mean they have always been popular with North American and Canadian students. We understand that to come
and study with us is a significant investment, so we want to help prospective students make an informed choice and
nothing beats a face-to-face discussion."
