For more than a century, the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers (CIBD) has brought together people passionate about brewing, distilling, and the wider drinks industry. Alongside its long-standing reputation for education and professional development, the CIBD has also created opportunities for members and industry professionals to experience the world of brewing and distilling beyond the classroom.

This website celebrates those experiences — the tours, visits, events, and shared moments that connect people across the global drinks community. From exploring historic breweries and innovative distilleries to meeting professionals from different cultures and backgrounds, each trip offers a chance to learn, discover, and build lasting connections.

The experiences captured here reflect the spirit of the CIBD community: curiosity, collaboration, and a shared passion for the craft. Whether it’s behind-the-scenes insights, technical learning, or simply enjoying unforgettable moments together, these journeys showcase the people and places that make the industry so unique.
