The Scandinavian School of Brewing

What The Scandinavian School of Brewing does

The Scandinavian School of Brewing is a Copenhagen-based educational institution founded in 1925 that trains brewers and beverage professionals. It operates as an 8-employee organization headquartered at the historic Carlsberg district (Gamle Carlsberg vej 16, 1799 København V) in close cooperation with the University of Copenhagen. The school offers two diploma-level credentials, the Diploma Master Brewer and the Diploma Craft Brewer, alongside shorter courses in soft drinks technology, cider making, and distilling spirits, plus onsite training and consultancy services for beverage industry clients.

The school's core technology is the integration of traditional brewing craft with modern technical and scientific knowledge, delivered through in-person programs at the Copenhagen facility and supplemented by online training options and digital resources such as a Beer Calculator and educational publications. The flagship Diploma Master Brewer is offered at University Master Level in cooperation with the University of Copenhagen; it requires a B.Sc. in Food Science (or similar) for entry and spans 2 years of study plus 6 months of practical experience. The Diploma Craft Brewer is a practical-focused program of 2 weeks plus project work aimed at microbrewery production brewers. Programs are promoted through the school's website and organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram).

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees for diploma and short-course programs, with secondary revenue from onsite training and consultancy services for breweries and beverage companies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and prospective students must contact the school directly. The go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the website, with enterprise customers reached through direct sales for onsite training. The institution has no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and serves aspiring and practicing brewers as its primary customer segment, with beverage industry professionals as a secondary segment.
