    Penn College's unique associate degree in brewing and fermentation science, one of the few programs recognized by the Master Brewers Association of America, prepares students for a variety of rewarding careers in the growing brewing industry. The hands-on program is led by master brewer Timothy L. Yarrington, who has more than 25 years of industry experience. "I want to have some influence on the next generation of brewers and make sure that we never lose that pleasure and that joy of the hard work of learning and the discipline of brewing," Yarrington affirms in a video added to the college's YouTube channel. "It's special, for sure." One member of that new generation is Eric J. Tuller, a brewing and fermentation student from Montoursville, who has high praise for his academic mentor: He's "not a guy who's just sat and learned everything from books without ever pursuing it," Tuller says of Yarrington. "He's actually out there in the field doing it. His knowledge has a lot more weight than someone who's just reading up on it."
