Unlocking the Genetic Code of Brewing Strains

Brewing yeast strains have been developed by brewers over centuries and not created in a lab. This seminar will look at how yeast have genetically developed over the years by brewers. Using science to unlock the genetic code of some brewing strains, we can look at how these strains have been formed—information that will help us look for these genes in new strains that are isolated in nature. In this seminar, we will also taste a beer made with 96 yeast strains.
