Making good beer great
This year’s World Brewing Summit in Providence, Rhode Island, was jointly organised by the American brewers’ associations ASBC (American Society of Brewing Chemists) and MBAA (The Master Brewers Association of the Americas) who offered an extensive schedule over the six days of the convention. The ASBC meeting “The Science of Beer” was rather scientifically oriented and featured 42 papers in 11 sessions, 32 posters and 8 workshops. It took place from 15 to 18 June and was followed by the MBAA convention from 18 – 20 June with its more practical approach apparent in 37 papers and 38 posters.
