Description
Beer and Brewing: Current Advances and Future Outlook addresses key changes and challenges facing breweries today, and with an eye to the future. The book offers the latest in scientific research and technology for novel methods and ingredients, such as genetically modified yeasts. In response to the climate crisis and consumer demand for sustainable products, information on brewing process changes for lower waste and reduced impact will also be covered. Due to shifting consumer preferences, new product types such as spiked cider, low-alcohol, and alcohol-free beers will be discussed in addition to traditional beer.
Edited by a true pillar of the field, the book approaches brewing on the basis of driving forces that are impacting the industry now and into the future. Researchers interested in applied brewing science, skilled small-scale brewers and other industry stakeholders will gain invaluable insight from Dr. Bamforth's latest work.
