A New Mexico community college is offering a new program that allows students to major in brewing beer.
KOB-TV in Albuquerque reports 30 students at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque are enrolled in the school's new Brewing and Beverage Management Program.
School officials say students in the program learn the basics of beer production and recipe formulation. Students are expected to apply their knowledge of beer production in hands-on laboratory-style classes.
Instructor Nick Jones says there are more than 70 brew pubs in New Mexico and the demand for trained workers is soaring.
