On behalf of the ASBC and MBAA and our IBS conference planning committee, I wish to invite you to attend the 2
nd International Brewing Symposium on Hops Flavor and Aroma in Beer to be held on the Oregon State University campus, July 26 – 28, 2017. In August of 2007 we held the very successful first IBS Hops Symposium, and so we look forward to sharing the new, exciting and relevant research on this topic that has emerged over the past 10 years. The three-day conference we are planning includes notable speakers invited from around the world to share their knowledge about hops and beer flavor. Additionally, the conference offers an opportunity to view updates by researchers carrying out on-going studies for the Hop Research Council. And, you will have the opportunity to see the hops industry in Oregon from breeding to commercial production. Please join us next summer in Corvallis for an engaging meeting about hops and their contributions to beer flavor.
Sincerely,
Thomas H. Shellhammer
