Sensory Analysis
Thanks for attending!
After a three year hiatus, we held our first ASBC LABS on Sensory Analysis at Coronado Brewing on October 11, 2018. The meeting explored a practical approach to Sensory Analysis programs in two regional sized craft breweries. It included details on sensory analysis programs such as setting up, maintaining, record keeping, data analysis, types of sensory panels based on ASBC guidelines and flavor defects. At the end of the power point presentations, speakers and participants engaged in an hour long animated Q & A session while enjoying amazing pizzas and craft beers.
