Details

Date Thursday May 29th 2003
Time 4:00-5:00pm
Venue George E. Pake Auditorium

PARC Forum

Marketing types in the world of brewing like to say their beers are “steeped in tradition,” but does this not ignore hundreds of years of experience and innovation? In an entertainment industry where 10 minutes of pleasure is our product, working artfully towards a new creation is key. Starting from the glass and going over everything from grain to brain, some challenges of the new ingredients (i.e., experience, knowledge and creativity) will be fermented. A beer seminar addressing E = mc2, child development and Jackson Pollock awaits you.
