School of Brewing Engineering, as a key specialty teaching unit of Moutai Institute, was restructured in March 2025, whose predecessor was the Department of Brewing Engineering founded in 2017.

The school is organized into five subordinate divisions: Department of Brewing Engineering, Department of Baijiu Brewing, Department of Wine Engineering, General Office, and Student Studio. It currently has 72 faculty members, among whom 60 are full-time teachers. Among the full-time teachers, 37 hold doctoral degrees, 32 have the title of associate professor or above, and 2 are provincial-level talents of the "Thousand-Talent Program". There are over 1,200 undergraduate students on campus.

The school currently operates 3 teaching and research platforms, namely Modern Baijiu Brewing Technology Engineering Research Center of Guizhou Provincial Department of Education, Key Specialized Laboratory of Brewing Microbiology and Brewing Engineering of Guizhou Provincial Department of Education, and Sauce-Flavor Baijiu Technology Innovation Center of Guizhou Provincial Department of Science and Technology. ‌Additionally, it features specialized laboratories with a total area of approximately 3,260 m², such as a pilot production line for beer, a pilot production line for fruit wine, a Baijiu flavor evaluation room, an alcoholic drink body design room, and an alcoholic drink analysis and testing laboratory. It is equipped with large-scale instruments, including Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)‌, ‌High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)‌, ‌Ultra-Micro UV-Visible Spectrophotometer‌, ‌Automatic Kjeldahl Nitrogen Analyzer‌, ‌Real-Time Fluorescent Quantitative PCR System‌, ‌Automatic Gel Imaging Analysis System‌, ‌Microplate Reader (ELISA)‌, ‌Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Synthesis/Extraction System, etc. The total value of experimental instruments is approximately 22 million yuan.

In recent years, the school has undertaken 10 National Natural Science Foundation projects, 13 provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects, and 128 various other research projects. It has published 142 academic papers, including 30 SCI-indexed papers. It has applied for 57 invention patents and 50 utility model patents, with a total of 17 million yuan in ongoing scientific research funds.

In terms of teaching achievements, the school has obtained 15 provincial-level teaching reform projects, 28 teaching paradigm reform projects, and published 57 teaching reform papers. It has won 5 awards in events such as the Guizhou Provincial Teachers' Teaching Innovation Competition and the Young Teachers' Teaching Skills Competition, and 14 awards in events like the Moutai Institute Teachers' Teaching Innovation Competition and the Young Teachers' Teaching Skills Competition. Additionally, it has won 1 third prize in the Provincial Teaching Achievement Awards, 2 first prizes in the Institute-level Teaching Achievement Awards, and 3 excellent Institute-level industry-academia integration cases.

Adhering to the educational philosophy of "Cultivating Virtue and Competence, Balancing Heritage and Innovation, Integrating Brewing Theories and Practices, and Unifying Knowledge and Action", the School of Brewing Engineering is rooted in Moutai, dedicated to the alcoholic drink industry, serving the local community, and embracing a global vision. It is committed to cultivating high-caliber application-oriented talents who can engage in production management, quality control, engineering design, scientific research, and technology development and other work in the field of brewing engineering and related areas. These talents should possess the craftsman spirit and meet the needs of local economic development with "solid foundation, strong capability, quick adaptability and great potential".
