It's always great to hear from our Brewing Diploma grads and what they're up to. Alumna Kristine Hui was recently featured in a Womxn In Distilling article from High-Proof Creative on how her path from the KPU Brewing Diploma led her to a career in distilling. Kristine first started honing her distilling skills at The Borders Distillery in Scotland after graduating from the KPU Brewing program and is now a distiller at In the Welsh Wind in Wales. She's also part of a small bu...t growing group of female distillers in the industry. For more on Kristine's distilling adventures, follow her Miss Brewbird accounts on YouTube and Instagram.
