Title: The Science of Brewing Beer
Speaker: Brett Porter, Master Brewer - Goose Island
Brett Porter will share how beer is made. The presentation will include the basics of fermentation and will then move into the creation of more complicated craft beers which are very popular right now. The presentation includes a tasting and will include samples of various Goose Island beers available for everyone to try.
Founded in Chicago in 1988, Goose Island is one of the most successful craft breweries in the Midwest and produces some of the most popular, and award winning, beers in the U.S. Since 1989, Goose Island beers have won a variety of awards at acclaimed beer events including the World Beer Championships, World Beer Cup, World Expo of Beer and the Great American Beer Festival (GABF).
Our brewery was built in 1995 and has more than doubled in size since originally built. We bring you our tasty pints using 32 fermenters, over 15 different yeasts, state-of-the-art filters, centrifuges and a 50 barrel JV Northwest 5 vessel system that brews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It turns out that making awesome brews is quite the science. Luckily our brewery facilities have all the equipment necessary to deliver results.
