The IBD had its headquarters at Clarges Street in London London until 2014 at which time the Institute moved to its current location in Curlew Street, south of the River Thames.

History

The institute can trace its roots back to 1886 when a group of ten scientists with interests in malting and brewing science formed The Laboratory Club, which later became the Institute of Brewing. In October 1906 a group of Yorkshire brewers established the Operative Brewers' Guild, which changed its name to the Brewers' Guild in 1929. The Guild and the Institute merged to form the Institute and Guild of Brewing in 2001, which was later renamed as the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in 2005.
