Barley and brewing: a matter of taste

Scotland Food and Drink in partnership with the James Hutton Institute and Interface Food and Drink will host this event ‘Barley and brewing; a matter of taste’ at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee.

Featuring Alex Speers FIBD, the recently appointed Professor of Brewing and Distilling and Director of the International Centre of Brewing and Distilling at Heriot-Watt University, the event is targeted at brewers and will focus on the innovation support available in Scotland to encourage innovation in this sector.

Other speakers will include Dr Bill Thomas and Professor Derek Stewart from the James Hutton Institute. Professor Stewart also holds a Chair in Food Chemistry at Heriot-Watt University.

To help explore the wealth of innovation support available in Scotland, Interface Food and Drink will introduce a whistle stop tour of funding and projects available to help businesses develop new product development and innovation.

The event will also include a tour of the James Hutton Institute in Dundee, lunch and an opportunity to network with colleagues from the brewing and innovation sectors. Register your interest in attending on the event page here.
