Hello everyone,
My name is Bryan Dierschow. I am currently working towards getting into the brewing industry, and it has been a bit of a tough slog (I'm sure most of you have had similar experiences!). I am seeking advice on what I can do to bolster my resume so I might slide my foot in the door.
My background:
I have been a homebrewer for almost 5 1/2 years. I have been through two internships, six months at The Fort Collins Brewery, and six months at Odell Brewing Company. I currently work at a liquor store. I do not have a college degree (I am about 6 years past the last college course I attended), but I do have a certificate from the Siebel Institute for completing the Concise Course.
What things might I look into to bolster my resume?
Ideas I have visited, but am not sure the true value of:
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I am open to look at any/all of them! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and respond!

What things might I look into to bolster my resume?
Ideas I have visited, but am not sure the true value of:
- Taking the examinations from the Cicerone program
- Taking the examinations from the BJCP
- Seeking further brewing specific education from Siebel, MBAA, IBD, etc.
- Going back to college to seek an Associate or Bachelor degree in biology or chemistry
- Seeking out businesses that may offer forklift certification
- Getting into bartending/other pub work
- Seeking out more internships
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I am open to look at any/all of them! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and respond!
