posted Feb 22nd, 2023 by John Holl

Once, a few years ago, a friend was sharing a experience after visiting New Glarus Brewing Company.

Setting Up a QC Lab with Neva Parker of White Labs

posted Feb 9th, 2023 by Andy Crouch

My favorite part of any brewery tour is seeing the lab. It’s not that I’m a science nerd or even particularly conversant in what goes on in these scientific sanctuaries. A lab is a sign that a brewery takes quality serious enough to invest resources in pursuit of it.
