The Alcohol School is educating distilled spirits and fuel ethanol producers in the multidisciplinary sciences of ethanol production.
The course is designed to provide our delegates with detailed information on unit processes, formulated for lab, plant, and management personnel, and is organized around lectures, laboratory demonstrations, seminars, and lab visits. This important resource is becoming more valuable as the market growth is making the need for continual education a must.
The Alcohol School
Join us in the heart of bourbon country for the Alcohol School – Louisville 2026, an intensive, in‑person training designed for professionals involved in fuel alcohol and distilled spirits production.
Over five days, this immersive program brings together industry experts, scientists, and practitioners to explore the latest advances in yeast and fermentation performance, process control, product safety, sustainability, and innovation across alcohol industries. Through a combination of technical presentations, case studies, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will gain practical insights they can apply directly to their operations.
The program covers key topics such as optimizing stressed fermentations, yeast nutrition strategies, antimicrobial control, analytics and AI applications, new markets for ethanol, carbon intensity, maturation, and future pathways for sustainable alcohol production. The week also includes off‑site technical tours, networking opportunities, and a dedicated educational tasting evening.
Whether you are working in fuel ethanol, beverage spirits, or emerging alcohol markets, the Alcohol School offers a unique opportunity to deepen your technical knowledge, exchange with peers, and stay ahead of industry trends.
