This spring semester, Lewis & Clark College once again will offer an immersive practicum in the art, science, and business of brewing in cooperation with Breakside Brewery:
“The Art, Science, and Business of Brewing” (EINV 244) will be a comprehensive introduction to the craft beer industry, with students developing a practical understanding of how beer is designed, produced, marketed, and sold. The practicum will integrate three intertwined elements of brewing: fermentation science, beer as a business, and beer as an artisan craft. Through a mix of lecture, discussion, hands-on brewing, and sensory exercises, students will develop a broad understanding of the skills and theory needed to understand and participate in the beer industry. Readings and lectures will draw from a wide range of disciplines including food science, biochemistry, microbiology, and materials engineering.
