Bring your team to the world's largest teaching distillery for a day-long experience! This program offers classroom lectures from our Faculty Fellows with expertise in topics like grain handling, fermentation, process engineering, maturation, and customer relations. 

Whether you want an overview of whiskey production with a focus on storytelling to grow your visitor experience, or you're looking for a leadership retreat with a fun learning twist, our Short Course offering can fit your needs. Reach out to our Education Coordinator to get started!

This multi-day workshop series provides participants with a strong foundation in the science and engineering concepts that underlay whiskey production. Through a combination of lectures from our Faculty Fellows and hands-on activities to reinforce learning through experience, your team has the opportunity to learn core concepts and put them into practice in a safe learning environment.

We know every distillery operates just a little (or a lot) differently, so our Education Coordinator will work with you to maximize the value of the program for your unique needs.

We partner with the James B. Beam Distilling Company to offer an extensive in-depth training for distillery operators. As a Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program, this offering includes approximately 2000 hours of on-the-job training where apprentices apply hands-on science and engineering concepts they learn through the ~180 hours of Related Technical Instruction that the Beam Institute and our Faculty Fellows provide to trainees. 

This offering is currently exclusive to the James B. Beam Distilling Co. through our partnership, but we anticipate opportunities to expand so don't hesitate to reach out to our 
Education Coordinator if you are interested!
