THE SCIENCE OF BEER with LACAWAC SANCTUARY 6:00PM
The popular Science on Tap series returns for 2019 at the Wallenpaupack Brewing Company. This is a monthly gathering in Wayne and Pike Counties featuring public discussion on engaging science topics with a brief, informal presentation by a scientist or other expert followed by lively conversation. The goal is to promote enthusiasm for science in a fun, spirited, and accessible way, while also meeting new people. For each event, we tap an expert in a particular field to lead a presentation and lively discussion in an informal setting. Free, and no registration required. Arrive early for the best seating. The series is organized by a partnership of local conservation and environmental groups from Pike and Wayne Counties. This month’s Science on Tap program is The Science of Beer presented by Dr. Denis Peterson. Denis has undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Biology and a doctorate in Biochemistry from the University of Minnesota. He has been seriously brewing beer for the last 15 years (and drinking if for most of his life.) Dennis is a BJCP certified beer judge and a member of the American Home Brewers Association.
