The Science of Beer

What goes into making a high quality beer and why would a brewery need dedicated scientists to make it happen? Join this talk to learn about one of the original scientific endeavors and what the typical day of a brewing scientist covers. Discussions will also include information on why the brewing industry’s collaborative nature makes it incredibly unique and what new, exciting projects are being pursued by breweries across the world. Finally, participants will get a brief introduction on how to evaluate beer and assess beer quality themselves.
