Seminars

  • BEGINNER
    • Tasting Beer – Craft beer doesn’t have to be fussy, but a few pro tips can help enhance the tasting experience. This seminar aims to get craft beer novices ready to taste a wide variety of beers from across the U.S. at our Pint-N-Bite Tasting later in the evening.
  • INTERMEDIATE
    • Style Focus: Craft Lager – Craft lager is no longer an oxymoron. Once anathema to the craft beer movement, lagers are now being produced by independent craft breweries across the country. This seminar will take a look at the history, method of production, and myriad styles of lager in the U.S.
    • The Art of Food & Beer Pairing: Spicy Food Edition- Stand back, wine. When it comes to pairing beverages with spicy cuisine, this is a job for beer! Whether you want tame the heat or kick it up a notch, beer has got you covered
      and this seminar will show you exactly how it’s done. (Heartburn medicine not provided.)
  • ADVANCED
    • Yeast Health and Vitality – A common adage among brewers is that brewers make wort and yeast makes beer. Therefore, it stands to reason that yeast deserves close scrutiny when making beer to ensure that it is healthy enough to do the job right. This seminar will explore the current research on this topic with discussion moderated by Dr. Tyrell Conway, Regents Professor and Head of the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at
      OSU.

4:00 – 5:15pm

Seminars

      • BEGINNER
        • Introduction to Hops – Hops are one of the four key ingredients that make a beer. While this isn’t new information for most people, the majority of beer drinkers out there don’t know much about hops beyond this. This seminar will cover the basic flavors and aromas that this all-too important ingredient contributes to beer. If you weren’t a hop head before this seminar, you will be after!
      • INTERMEDIATE
        • We Want the Funk: An Ode to Sour Beer – We’re gonna tear the roof off the sucker and explore the world of sour beers! These intentionally tart and acidic beers are finding more and more craft beer fans everywhere. We will take a look at the major sour beer styles of the world and the production methods that make them so unique.
        • The First Five Bucks Is the Hardest: The Trials and Tribulations of Opening a  Brewery- Brewers get together on a dais to have a frank discussion on what it takes to open the doors of a new brewery. (Spoiler alert: it ain’t easy.) Beers from each brewery to be served, because, frankly, we’re all probably gonna need it.
      • ADVANCED
        • Technical Approaches to Trendy Styles – Led by brewers at the vanguard of the craft movement, this seminar will delve into the production methodology behind the hottest styles in craft beer today with examples provided of each.
