Speaker Bio and Presentation:
Dr. Charlie Bamforth:
Bio:
Dr. Charlie Bamforth is Distinguished Professor of Malting and Brewing Sciences at the University of California, Davis and Honorary Professor in the School of Biosciences at the University of Nottingham. He is immediate past President of the Institute of Brewing & Distilling. He has been in the industry since 1978, at the Brewing Research Foundation (twice) and Bass before moving to the US in 1999. Charlie has published extensively on beer and brewing – and even more so on football (soccer, that is).
Abstract:
There used to be a beer advertised in England with the words "It looks good, it tastes good, it does you good". It seems that here, in 2018, there is a divergence of opinion on what "looks good" and in part this is founded on opinions about whether or not this makes it "taste good". Charlie will look at the sociology, psychology and science of beer clarity.
