The Science of Beer

Ah, beer. More than 50 billion pints of beer are consumed each year in the United States alone! But as we celebrate life’s important milestones with this beverage, how much thought do we give to the process by which this delicious drink is made? Join us Wednesday evening, June 27, at 6pm in the Nature Research Center’s Daily Planet Café as Fullsteam Brewing takes us on a journey through the Science of Beer, detailing the brewing process from its beginnings as raw ingredients to the finished product in your glass.

Through this discussion you’ll learn about the process of brewing a batch of beer from start to finish, from the ingredients used and how each one impacts the flavor of the beer, to the fermentation process and the transformation that the liquid undergoes to become beer. You’ll also be welcome to ask questions and, of course, enjoy some delicious beer!
