Tasting School Brewed Beers
Today, the first two groups in my chemistry of beer course presented the beers they’ve been brewing the last three months. It was an exciting moment that passed with no memorable instances, but I should note that while the beers were not outstanding (nor underwhelming, to be fair), it was interesting to see how, automatically, upon trying such a distinct flavor, my mind raced to explain the nuances of this beer with the knowledge I’ve acquired in class throughout the semester. The bitterness? Hops. Darker color? Must have to do with the boiling of the malt. etc. Without a doubt, my biggest takeaway from today is that experiential learning is impactful!
