About OMSI Science Pub: Measuring the Taste of Beer
Science+Beer=Fun
with Dana Garves, chemist, owner of Oregon BrewLab
Measuring the
Taste of Beer
dives into the science of assessing beer quality, by examining it through the
lens of the drinker. We'll explore the main beer ingredients and how the
science behind those ingredients play a role in the sensory experience of the
final product. This easy-to-follow talk uncaps the secrets behind what makes a
great pint and how drinkers can navigate the vast world of craft beer.
Dana Garves received her
Chemistry degree from the University of Oregon in 2010, and jumped right into
testing water quality for her first post graduation job. Feeling unfulfilled by
water QC, Garves set her sights on the beer industry and joined local Eugene
beer giant, Ninkasi Brewing Company in 2011. She started providing Oregon
Brewers with free alcohol and bitterness analysis while building the quality
control laboratory and sensory program at Ninkasi. Recognizing that free
science was unsustainable, and affordable science was in rare supply, Garves
created Oregon BrewLab in 2014 - a beer lab dedicated to providing fast and
accurate testing for brewers and homebrewers. Since 2014 Oregon BrewLab has
removed the cost barrier and headache of beverage analysis for over 600
breweries nationwide.
