Six Months’ Brewers’ Courses. (American Brewers’ Review July, 1905)
A decision has been reached by the recognized brewers’ institutes and brewers’ academies of the United States, viz : The United States Brewers’ Academy, of New York; The National Brewers’ Academy, of New York; Hantke’s Brewers’ Academy, of Milwaukee; The Siebel Brewing Academy, of Chicago, and The Wahl – Henius Institute, of Chicago, to adopt a policy embodying the following provisions :
( a ) The abolition of the four months’ course, substituting therefore a six months’ course, to be given once a year, starting in October, to the exclusion of any other general brewers’ course.
( b ) A uniform fee of five hundred dollars.
( c ) The issuance of certificates of graduation after completing the six months’ course and passing a satisfactory examination at the end of such course.
A post–graduate course covering two months will be arranged for the benefit of those students who have taken a four months’ course prior to this agreement and are desirous of obtaining a six months’ certificate.
Applications of graduates of any of the above schools to attend a post–graduate course in any of the institutes will be accepted without examination or further qualification by applicants, and such students are entitled to a six months certificate on passing the examination in the branches covered by the two months’ post–graduate course.

In contrast to 1905, today such an education is a bit more expensive.
- The Master Brewer Certificate Program at UC – Davis is a 15 week course and costs $16,000.
- Siebel Institute’s WBA Master Brewer Program in Chicago is a 20 week course and costs $27,980.
