Brewing & Distilling Study Abroad FAQs

Where did alcohol come from?

Beer came well before Christ. Around 5000 B.C. Egyptian workers on the Giza pyramid were paid 5 liters of ale per day. The earliest origins of distilled whiskey date back to the monasteries of 13th century Italy, before spreading to Ireland and Scotland in the 1400’s. Tequila has been distilled in Mexico much the same way since the 16th century. But as old as alcohol is, modern brewing and distilling techniques are still relatively new.

Why is brewing and distilling alcohol a growing trend?

Craft breweries and distilleries are not just about beer, whiskey and tequila. They represent a culture and a community, driving the market towards more personalized, artisanal tastes and flavors. Sustainability is a growing trend, with more distilleries using organic ingredients and eco-friendly practices. This shift reflects a consumer desire for products that are not only good in taste, but also good for the planet. We’ll drink to that!

Why study brewing and distilling abroad rather than at home?

Studying brewing and distilling abroad can open up a world of possibilities for your future career in the fast-growing craft beer and liquor industry. It provides a unique educational experience, combining practical learning with cultural immersion and personal growth. This is the type of experience you definitely won’t get at home. And you might get to enjoy the odd pint, dram of whiskey or shot of tequila along the way! Salud!

Are there scholarships for brewing and distilling study abroad programs?

World Endeavors offers scholarships. You can usually also apply your financial aid and even some of your home university scholarships to your study abroad program, though you will need to verify this with your home university. Additionally, we encourage you to explore external scholarship opportunities specific to brewing and distilling students studying abroad.

How will studying brewing and distilling abroad enhance my career prospects?

Studying brewing and distilling abroad provides you with a global perspective in this constantly evolving industry, where a new craft beer, whiskey or tequila springs up every day. Exposure to global trends can put you ahead of the pack. You will also gain a diverse network of new colleagues and friends (consider them drinking buddies), which is obviously good for the soul, but also won’t do your future opportunities any harm. Cheers folks!
