The Beer Quality and Analysis Series of online/on-site courses taught the fundamentals of basic microbiology and its role in the brewing process, and gave students the tools to analyze and evaluate beer to influence quality control in a production brewing setting.

This series included the following:

• Microbiology for the Brewer
• Beer Analyses
• Beer Quality Assurance (QA) and Willamette Valley OSU and Hop Farm Tour

Students learned how local breweries incorporate innovative practices, and how Oregon State’s long-running research in beer’s raw ingredients continues to influence the brewing industry and why Oregon is home to so many beer enthusiasts.
