Newspaper Features New UMaine Class on Science of Beer

Two University of Maine faculty members were interviewed for a Bangor Daily News article about a new UMaine class that examines the science of brewing beer. Brian Perkins, a laboratory director and research assistant professor with UMaine’s Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, and Jason Bolton, a food safety educator and assistant Extension professor of food safety with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, are preparing a class for the spring 2013 semester that will delve into the science behind what makes beer. The newspaper website posted a short video on the topic.
