About the Moosehead Beer Academy

The Moosehead Beer Academy is the inspiration of Andrew and Patrick Oland, the sixth generation brothers behind Moosehead Breweries – Canada’s oldest independent brewery.

From a craft beer renaissance to an explosion of home brewing, people are diving deep into beer.

In 2013, they felt it was time to share what is alive and well at Moosehead: a passion for beer. So the brothers launched the Moosehead Beer Academy blog - a community where Moosehead employees, customers, and industry friends could share their knowledge, and together grow a deeper understanding of beer.

The blog is a place for sharing authentic stories about the art and science of brewing and the traditions around beer enjoyment. It is also a place for sharing our legendary family history, and taking a close look at our own beer-making processes.

In 2016, Andrew and Patrick decided it was time to build on the amazing foundation of content in the blog, and take the Moosehead Beer Academy to the next level. And so the Level 1 Beer Guru Course was born.

Each chapter is Brewmaster-certified, so whether you’re an experienced brewer or a beer newbie, you’re going to want to be a student. After all, this is an MBA where beer drinking actually helps your grades.

We invite you to be a part of it all. Subscribe to the blog, and start studying for your Level 1 Beer Guru certification today.

Cheers!
