Symposium for professional craft and micro brewers from European countries − in cooperation with Brau Beviale in Nuremberg
Highligt event directly preceeding the Brau Beviale 2018: 12 November 2018, Nürnberg Convention Center Mitte, Germany. Presentation language: English
The European MicroBrew Symposium is an industry event that addresses professional brewers from brewpubs and craft breweries in Europe (nevertheless brewers from other continents are also warmly welcome!). The topics are focused on technological and quality aspects of beer brewing on a professional level. Besides an overview of the international market trends in this segment the symposium focuses primarily on technical / technological aspects of craft beer production. In addition to general concepts for small-scale brewery plants, the rich variety of products available by variations to the raw materials, process parameters and yeasts as well as the necessary quality control will be presented and discussed.
The symposium is co-located to Brau Beviale, the world’s most important capital goods exhibition for the beverage industry in 2018.
Target Group: Professionals with limited experience in sensory analysis, seeking to improve and certify their skills
Aim: Theoretical and practical preparation leading to certifi cation of beer tasting ability
Language: English
The basis of an effective sensory regimen is welltrained staff who are equipped with the skills to detect changes to a product throughout the production process or during its shelf-life.
While technical instruments are used in chemical analysis, the human senses are the essential tools in sensory evaluation, and regular training is an important feature to maintain consistency and
accuracy.
As an independent institute, the Research and Teaching Institute for Brewing in Berlin (VLB) offers the VLB Beer Taster Certification Program, which enables participants to both refresh and certify their skills in this field.
The three-day program will provide a refresher of theoretical foundations combined with practical exercises, followed by a comprehensive exam that will, upon successful completion, lead to the award of a cerificate by the VLB. This certificate has a validity of 5 years.
Course fee: € 850
