Brewery at the CIA
The Culinary Institute of America has introduced the first three beers brewed on campus as part of the college’s new Art & Science of Brewing elective. The course, part of the CIA’s bachelor’s degree offerings, is held in The Brewery at the CIA—a facility made possible thanks to a partnership between the college and Brooklyn Brewery. The course and the brewhouse built to house it were created to help elevate the status of beer on restaurant menus and familiarize the future leaders of foodservice and hospitality with how beer is produced. Beers brewed by students in the class will soon be available at the college’s public restaurants and in its new Student Commons. The brewery has begun producing two flagship brands, Cleaver IPA and Mise en Place Wit. In addition, The Brewery at the CIA will be producing a rotating lineup of “Class Project” seasonal beers designed and inspired by students in the Art & Science of Brewing course.
