Beer Efficiency Score

May 10, 2013 By Jay Brooks

strong-beer
Today’s infographic is an odd one. Entitled Beer Efficiency Score, they mean “How potent is my brew per calorie consumed?” It’s a rather dubious measure of a beer, but interesting that someone would go to the trouble to figure it out.

Are Hops Addictive?

March 23, 2013 By Jay Brooks

hops
Are Hops Addictive? I sure hope so. PopSci’s BeerSci series tackles that very question in an interesting article: Are Hops Addictive? So what’s the answer? I’m not telling, but don’t worry. The answer is a click away.

Ninkasi Brewing Process

March 14, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-ingredients
Today’s infographic shows the brewing process at Ninkasi Brewing in Eugene, Oregon. I’ve seen a lot of these diagrams, and even started collecting them this year in a Tumblr, Visualize Brewing, but this is one of the coolest ones I’ve seen. The detail is great, which you can see better looking at it full size.
