Photo by Don Perkins.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast (CBI) at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College (A-B Tech). The CBI provides curriculum and non-credit courses in brewing, distilling, fermentation and related business practices. Its Brewing, Distillation and Fermentation AAS degree was the first two-year program in the nation. \u201cThe Institute prepares individuals for positions in brewery and distillery operations and management, distribution, sales and marketing, and customer service, or to be self-employed and open their own craft production facility,\u201d says CBI director Jeff \u201cPuff\u201d Irvin. \u201cOver the last 10 years, we have had students and graduates of our programs achieve amazing local, regional and international success and acclaim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One such graduate is Rebecca Murphy, a CBI alumnus who is now operations director for Two Trees Distilling Co. in Fletcher. Murphy graduated with the 2-year AAS degree in 2021. \u201cThe quality of the instructors, the small class size and the amount of hands-on experience through the course were what I was initially drawn to,\u201d she says. \u201cThe full-time instructors and staff have an amazing depth of experience to draw on. They\u2019ve been in the industry, doing the work and know what they\u2019re talking about. They know what common problems you\u2019ll run into and how to avoid them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy credits her strong network at CBI with landing her current job right after graduation. \u201cNot only did I have my classmates, who I got to know incredibly well, but I also had instructors who came to the CBI that I can reach out to whenever I have a question,\u201d she says. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s about hiring new staff, designing labels for a new product or running into regulatory snags. Someone has been there, done that, and I have someone to get advice from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sasha Bynum started at CBI in fall of 2022 and already has a full-time brewing position lined up at Terra Nova Beer Co. in Swannanoa after graduation, a position she landed because of her summer internship there. \u201cThe program exceeded my expectations by a long shot,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just how to brew beer, it\u2019s studying chemistry, algebra, biology and some physics to understand how different fermentations are possible. So you get lots of book knowledge from those courses and on top of that, we get hands-on applications every week by getting to brew beer, bourbon washes, stomp grapes, distill fruit juices, make mead and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exceeding expectations has been the theme of the last decade, and it\u2019s one that the CBI plans to carry into the coming decade as well. \u201cTen years is a milestone achievement for any new academic program,\u201d says Irvin. \u201cIt signifies stability, longevity and resilience in an ever-changing landscape. We look forward to offering new programs and opportunities; we look to strengthen our community and relationships within the craft beverage community and continue playing a crucial role supporting the craft beverage industry as it evolves everywhere around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/ABTech.edu\/CBI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABTech.edu\/CBI<\/a> and listen to Irvin\u2019s podcast \u201cConsuming the Craft\u201d on Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast (CBI) at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
