Craft Distilling Institute finds early success

The new Craft Distilling Institute has reached full enrollment for Fall Quarter. It was launched last summer to help introduce area residents to the growing trend of craft distilling in Washington State. The program falls under the Innovations College, which offers classes that don’t fit into an official department schedule but are designed to boost student engagement, capitalize on instructor creativity and respond to job market trends.

Seattle Central’s program offers the only Fundamentals of Distilling course in partnership with the London-based Institute of Brewing & Distilling in the United States. Due to this quarter’s success, the Innovations College plans to offer the course again in the coming spring.
