SPECIAL SPOTLIGHT


Brew Brewing School Graduate

“I have been a semi-professional brewer since 2014. My journey into the craft beer business started with homebrewing experience on a professional level through a lot of trial and error, via experimentation. Fast forward to 2018: I am now a graduate of the BDC. With the proper scientific knowledge that I did not have before, the BDC helped fill in the gaps. Thanks to the BDC, I now consider myself a professional brewer, with the confidence to move forward in my career. Doc White, Rick Cox and all of the other BDC teachers and mentors will always be there for me when I need them; and they will do the same for you, as well.”

Cheers, Daniel Delph, Brew Master – Last Days of Autumn Brewing
