In an industry increasingly driven by innovation, Beer30 and its parent platform The 5th Ingredient have launched Craft University, a free, open-access educational hub for brewers and brewery teams seeking to sharpen their skills and stay competitive. The initiative debuts in September 2025 and will deliver monthly programming across topics relevant to operating in today’s craft beer market.
What Craft University Offers
The platform aims to blend education with practical tools. Key features include:
- Live webinars led by guest experts in areas like brewery operations, marketing, scaling, and emerging beverage trends.
- Curated educational articles and free downloadable resources to support decision-making and strategy.
- Content on growth challenges: operating multiple taprooms vs production, leveraging AI and tech for efficiency, diversifying product lines with nonalcoholic or hard tea options, and community engagement through events and partnerships.
The inaugural session, set for Sept. 24, will feature Aaron MJ Gore of Beer30 and Andrew Coplon, founder of Craft Beer Professionals, focusing on “Staying Ahead: The Brewers’ Guide to Continuing Learning.” Attendees will also receive a Brewery Education Resource List for download and capacity to influence future course topics via Q&A.
Craft University is designed to be vendor-agnostic; brewers don’t need to be Beer30 customers to participate. The goal is to democratize access to education in an industry where many small breweries operate with limited staff and tight margins.
Pulkit K. Agrawal, Founder and CEO of The 5th Ingredient, said, “Launching Craft University by Beer30 is all about giving brewers and owners the opportunity to keep learning, pushing boundaries, and growing together—exactly what drives us every single day.”
By offering educational support at no cost, Beer30 positions itself not just as a software provider but as a partner in the industry’s growth, especially for breweries scaling or navigating turbulent markets.
