Founder of the World Brewing Academy in cooperation with the Siebel Institute of Chicago, USA.
Founder Dr. Albert Doemens wrote in the register of the newly founded First Munich Brewing Academy:
“An understanding should be ingrained in the students that practical knowledge, observation and a sharpening of the senses form the essential foundation for a successful career as a brewer.”
With this vision, Dr. Albert Doemens laid the foundations for what Doemens has become, a leading light of the international brewing, beverage and food industries.

The World Championship of Beer Sommeliers is organized every two years by the Doemens Academy. The best of the 5000 trained beer sommeliers of the world compete in a three-round contest. In a knockout competition, the best participants then present a selected beer in the semi-final and have to prevail in direct comparison against each other.
The participants who qualify for the final round will compete in front of a top-class jury. Each finalist has to convince the expert jury with his knowledge of all topics relating to the beer and its presentation skills.
The one who has best transported the message of beer culture and variety will be crowned the winner and thus the new WORLD CHAMPION of BEER SOMMELIERS.

The top training course for beer sommeliers, beer experts and everyone who wants to become one!
The training as beer sommelier started by Doemens in 2004 has developed very successfully right from the start and has been expanded internationally in recent years. Meanwhile there are courses in 6 different languages (German, English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Korean) and on 4 continents. More than 2,000 graduates already wear the coveted silver pin, with which they are recognised worldwide as certified beer sommeliers.
In the course of time, the desire for opportunities for further training and deepening into special fields has grown louder and louder among the trained beer sommeliers. In order to meet this wish, Doemens founded the “Institute of Masters of Beer (IMB)”, in which a professional training programme was developed which was initially launched in German-speaking countries but will in future also be offered worldwide in various languages.
The new training programme leaves various possibilities open to all those interested in beer. They can either attend individual seminars at different training centres, as desired, or dare to take part in the “complete training”, which includes a multi-faceted further training programme.
