GBM 108 Dr. Charlie Bamforth

UC Davis professor Charles Bamforth chats with UC Davis Extension Master Brewers students at Sudwerk Brewery in Davis.

As the ripples of the craft beer movement continue outward across the globe, it pays to go back to the epicenter once in a while, to visit with one of the individuals often found there. In this episode, we begin a new series called Beyond The Beer, and explore the seldom discussed dangers of brewing, the health benefits of beer, and much more. 

 

 

For those of you working in the brewhouse, exposing yourselves to heat, chemicals, nonbreathable gases, and many other dangers, we beer lovers thank you. I urge everyone else listening to honor your work by truly appreciating the beer you produce and the benefits that come from it.
