Searching For Science In A Glass Of Beer

December 4, 2010 By Jay Brooks

science
NPR’s Science Friday had an interview this week with Charlie Bamforth, talking about beer and his new book, “Beer Is Proof God Loves Us: Reaching for the Soul of Beer and Brewing.” Bamforth, of course, is the Anheuser-Busch Endowed Professor of Brewing Science at the University of California at Davis. In the segment, entitled Searching For Science In A Glass of Beer, Charlie takes questions and discusses the brewing process more generally. There’s also a transcript of the talk on their website. [And a hat tip to Rick Sellers for letting me know about the show.] Enjoy.

    The host wasted too much time w/his own banter (at least 2.5 minutes of that 13-minute bit) … but at least we found out how Miller has been getting away with using clear bottles. I wonder if Corona & the other Mexican brewers using clear bottles do the same – for sure both they & Miller use corn to get the color more yellow

      How would using corn “make the color more yellow”??

    I’m a big fan of anything Bamforth does, firstly from his technical works doing some brewing study but more so on his attitude to life and beer in general. I havent listened to the link above yet (I’m at work) but I have heard him on the Brewing Network a couple of times and ordered the book (hurry up amazon!).

    Highly recomend listening to him, the world would be a nicer place and full of a lot more good beer if there were more people like Charlie.

    Cheers
