Hartwick College Center for Craft Food and Beverage

The Hartwick College Center for Craft Food and Beverage is a resource for testing, business development, and education that supports small and mid-sized breweries, malthouses, farms, and other craft food and beverage producers.

The Hartwick College Center for Craft Food and Beverage (CCFB) offers laboratory testing services for beer and brewing raw materials such as barley, malt and hops. We provide technical assistance and business planning services as well as professional development opportunities and education. The Hartwick College CCFB is partially funded by a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission.
