New webinar “Hop Aroma Summit”
With the “Hop Aroma Summit”, the world’s leading hop specialist BarthHaas is offering a new intensive workshop for brewing professionals. The course is being held as a webinar on 25 February 2025. The four-hour event promises to deliver the very latest comprehensive updates on hop aroma, new varieties, and pioneering brewing techniques. The webinar will be led by Dr. Christina Schönberger and Dr. Alicia Muñoz from the Brewing Solutions team, together with Dr. Nils Rettberg from the brewing research and teaching institute VLB Berlin.
The three experts will reveal fresh perspectives on familiar topics and give the attending brewers valuable insights into subjects such as hop aroma yield, the influence of yeast on hop aroma, and the character and properties of new, sustainable hop varieties. “We’ll be looking in detail at topics such as biotransformation, hop creep, and aroma stability against the backdrop of the latest scientific findings,” says Dr. Christina Schönberger, head of the Brewing Solutions team. However, the workshop is not intended as a one-way street. “We expressly invite the participants to discuss their questions and practical problems live during the workshop,” emphasizes Schönberger, and she adds: “After the premiere, the summit meeting for brewing professionals is to become an established part of the Hops Academy program, providing an important source of stimulus for the brewing industry on an annual basis”.
All course participants will receive a package beforehand containing two different beer samples from the BarthHaas concept brewery, two different hop samples, and an aroma wheel. The webinar will take place on 25 February 2025 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will be held in English.
