Moonshine University Opens Registration for 2016 Courses

12/02/2015

by: The Staff

Moonshine University in Louisville, Kentucky, offers students the chance to learn the art and science of the distilling industry, through professional education. Courses are now open for registration for 2016.

The state-of-the-art facility was built for the sole purpose of instructing spirits entrepreneurs and enthusiasts, the company says. Industry experts teach the ins and outs of opening your own beverage business, which includes hands-on workshops in making the spirits themselves, in-depth study of alcohols and distillates, and comprehensive training for building a successful brand.

Since 2012, aspiring distillers have visited Moonshine University’s quarterly 5-day distiller course, where every aspect of the drinks industry is covered. Created by beverage expert and flavor scientist David Dafoe, the workshops provide an outlet for specialization and continued education in the distilling field.

“Nowhere else can you talk one-on-one with a seasoned distillery building consultant, chat about maturation with master distillers, and engage with knowledgeable beverage pros on their successes and failures in one place,” the company said in a press release.

For more information or to register for a course, visit moonshineuniversity.com, call 502-301-8126 or email registrar@moonshineuniversity.com.
