The future of beer, the importance of yeast and talks from wine scientists are among the range of beverage production events forming part of National Science Week, which kicks off on Saturday.
In Darwin, a discussion on the different type of yeasts, where it comes from and what role it plays in making beer will take place, while Young Henrys’, in Sydney, shares its carbon-neutral brewing process with algae.
Two events will take place in Tasmania, including the chemical and sensory comparison of Australian pinot noir wines led by wine scientist Dr Rocco Longo, as well a live-streamed beer tasting event, involving Hobart Brewing Company, Shambles Brewery, OCHO Beer and Van Dieman brewing.
In Victoria, head brewer at Brick Lane Brewing Company, John Seltin, will discuss the impacts of climate change on beer production and the future of brewing.
National Science Week 2020 runs from 15 to 23 August, with events spanning across the country both virtually and in person.
