Siebel Institute Sensory Analysis Seminar
Friday, September 30

The Siebel Institute of Technology and Brewers Association are proud to present professional-level brewing education at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival in Denver at the Denver Marriott City Center.

The four-hour Siebel Institute Sensory Analysis Seminar is designed to train brewers and beer enthusiasts in the process of sensory evaluation of beer. During this informative and practical presentation, students will learn to employ techniques used in professional breweries worldwide to assess the quality of their ales and lagers. The seminar will follow the brewing process from brewhouse to packaged product focusing on positive and negative flavor compounds produced during the various stages of the brewing process, including fermentation, maturation, packaging and storage. The origin and control of the various flavors will be discussed and students will have the opportunity to smell and taste beers that have been spiked with a variety of food-grade flavor compounds.

The course fee includes the 4-hour presentation, seminar notebook, and all tasting samples. Complete information and course registration available online (no phone registrations, please). Registration forms are also available for download (PDF). Please contact the Siebel Institute of Technology with any questions. Space is limited, register soon.
