World Brewing Congress 2012 is hosted by

Welcome to Portland World Brewing Congress 2012 is being held in Portland, Oregon — the perfect city for this epic event. Portland has more microbreweries and brewpubs per capita than any city in America. Portland features 32 breweries in the city limits, 38 if you consider the entire metro area. In addition, this region is blessed with the best ingredients needed to make beer, as 14 varieties of hops and two-row barley are grown here. It’s no surprise then that Portland is fondly referred to as “Beervana!”

Workshops and Invited Symposia Confabulation into the Realm of Saccharomyces: Theoretical and Practical

Inline Instrumentation Critical Process Control Points (CPCP)

Some say “beer is magic in a glass.” As brewers and scientists, we venture to qualify and quantify parameters that create this magic. Be it lager, ale, Belgian specialty beer, or wine, it is the yeast that makes the difference. Join our international panel of experts as we confabulate theoretically and practically through the realm of Saccharomyces.

Those working in brewery maintenance, quality assurance, or brewery process design in any size brewery will gain a general understanding of the traditional locations of inline instrumentation and analyzers in the brewing process. When considering inline instrumentation selection and location, each location has its own challenges, from environmental and process influences and hydraulic conditions to the need for sanitation. (Additionally, the inline measurement has to be periodically validated and the accuracy of the measurement checked.) Other factors include reoccurring costs and skill set required to operate and maintain the instrument, the needed standard reference device, and consideration of the total cost of ownership (TCO). The tradeoffs to having inline measurements versus using a portable meter or offline options are important considerations when implementing any solution.

Hops for the Future

Hops are the spice of beer, and defining future spice is an opportunity for brewers.

As the brewing landscape changes, so does the climate for hop acreage and variety. We have created a workshop that brings together hop research and the USDA/Washington State University breeding programs of the Northwest United States, interwoven with regulatory and analytical perspectives of the European hop industry. Defining the future of hops is shared from field to glass. At the end of the workshop we will experience the taste of single-variety hop beers: past, present, and future.

Malting Barley for Today’s Brewers — A Brave New World A panel of industry experts will present various barley-related issues that both challenge and create opportunities for the malting and brewing industries now and in the near future: • Sustainability — how maltsters and brewers can drive increased sustainability in the barley supply chain, from varietal development that focuses on ecological efficiencies to efficiencies in logistics, from grower to/through malthouse and brewery.

• Marketing — how recent changes will dramatically change the way barley is marketed in North America.

• New Technologies — options for gluten-free beer with malting barley.

• New North American Varieties — new varietals including winter barley.

The Trilogy of Barrel Aging

EBC Invited Symposium: Resources for the Future

As brewers we often think of beer containing four main ingredients: malted barley, hops, water, and yeast. However, as brewers who use barrels, the barrel becomes a dynamic fifth element in our beer. The more we can appreciate and understand our barrel partner, the better our beer will be. Our expert panelists will dig deep into the three leading components of aging beer in oak: • The complexity of flavors the wood contributes.

• The impact of material previously housed in the barrel.

• The microflora offerings — present or absent.

Organized by European Brewery Convention John Brauer, European Brewery Convention; Carsten Zufall, Cerveceria Polar CA; Martin Biendl, Hopsteiner HHV GmbH

BCOJ Invited Symposium: Technology for the Future Organized by Brewery Convention of Japan Hiroyuki Yoshimoto, Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd.; Tomoo Ogata, Asahi Breweries, Ltd.; Takako Inui, Suntory Liquors Ltd.; Masahide Sato, Sapporo Breweries Ltd. This symposium will address the newest breakthrough technologies for the future. Topics will include the comprehensive diagnosis system for evaluation of yeast brewing performance, research on yeast brewing performance by genome engineering technology, regulation of complex hop aroma compounds through the brewing process by a food metabolomics approach, and studies on the effects of insufficient nutrition on off-flavors and its application to no- and less-malt beer production.

This symposium will give an update on EBC, the EBC Science Group, and the Brewers of Europe and the technical resources they provide. Technical topics include strategies to decrease LOX activity in pilsner malts to improve beer flavor stability and the influence of different hop products on key aroma and bitter taste molecules during beer aging.

IBD Invited Symposium: Workforce of the Future Organized by Institute of Brewing & Distilling Charlie Bamforth, University of California, Davis; Graham Stewart, GGStewart Associates; Katherine Smart, University of Nottingham This symposium will address the upcoming challenges of training and educating the workforce of the future in the brewing industry. What will they need to know?

How do they learn? How will they be trained? What skill sets will be important?

This is guaranteed to be a lively discussion, so come and share your insights.

Pre-congress Courses Beer Canning and Double Seaming Technology

Beer Steward Seminar: Understanding Beer

Organized by MBAA Advance (by June 19, 2012) Standard (after June 19, 2012)

Organized by MBAA Advance (by June 19, 2012) Standard (after June 19, 2012)

$169 $189

Beer packaging has included metal cans since the early 1930s. Cans have steadily increased their presence in the beer market and are now the most common form of packaged beer in the United States of America. Craft brewers are discovering some of the benefits of canned beer: low oxygen pick up, complete protection from UV light, simpler line layouts, and savings on shipping costs due to reduced package weight. This course teaches you everything about beer canning from can and endmanufacture through line layouts, can handling, common defects, filling, double seaming on both large and small equipment, common QA checks for maintaining can integrity, and product quality.

Instructors: David Schuerman, Ball Can Company Randy Dillman, KHS Ashley Martin, Widmer Bros. Brewing Company Darryl Hoffinger, Widmer Bros. Brewing Company James Gordon, Cask Brewing Systems

$295 $325

The MBAA Beer Steward Program is aimed at educating beer professionals about beer after it leaves the brewery and enters the wholesale and retail markets. The program entails attendance at the seminar, study of the Beer Steward Handbook, and successful completion of the program’s online examination. The seminar is an all-day flavor- and sensory-intensive class that will walk you through understanding basic sensory systems, a sensory tour of the brewing process, learning how presentation lets customers sense with their eyes, and exploring beer’s four major flavor-driven groups to which all styles (lager or ale) belong.

The seminar culminates with a final flavor-intensive section on pairing beer with foods. The seminar is limited to 50 spaces.

Instructors: Rick Seemueller Bill White

multiple factors. One variable at a time experimentation does not work well with this situation, as it ignores large regions of possible interest and is not mathematically capable of detecting interactions between factors (such as enhancement or suppression). Combinatorial experiment designs enable efficient collection of the data most useful for gaining an understanding of system behavior and optimization. Constructing a mathematical model that describes system behavior is done with response surface methodology (RSM). Modeling is typically performed with a multivariate regression procedure such as multiple linear regression or (preferably) partial least squares regression. Evaluating model validity and quality will be described and examples will be presented.

Instructor: Karl Seibert, Cornell University

Sensory Application and Quality Control Organized by ASBC Advance (by June 19, 2012) Standard (after June 19, 2012)

$189 $209

Maintaining beer quality and consistency can strongly benefit from a sensory evaluation program in your brewery. This workshop will give you the fundamental tools needed to build your own testing program customized to your brewery needs.

We will address testing methods for both production consistency and shelf-life stability, including industry examples. Hands-on exercises and interactive tastings will support the presented methods. We will finish the day with a panel of experts (the staff of instructors). This will allow you to ask questions of a team of individuals who currently work in the brewing industry. The course is limited to 50 spaces.

Oregon Wine Country Tour Friday, July 27, 10:00 – 6:00 $129 (40 person maximum) The Yamhill Valley is central to the burgeoning Oregon wine industry. It’s considered, by many, to be the new home of the pinot noir. Join us as we visit four different wineries and experience how traditions blend with modern values, including LEED-certified facilities and the production of organic wines. The tour includes transportation to and from the Hilton Portland, an experienced tour guide, lunch at a wine country bistro, and all tasting fees and gratuities.

Hops, Farm, and Field Tour

Mount Hood and Brewpub Tour

Friday, July 27, 8:15 – 5:30 $65 (45 person maximum)

Friday, July 27, 8:00 – 5:30 $79 (45 person maximum)

This tour will take you into the heart of the Oregon hops territory. The tour will make its first stop in Corvallis at Oregon State University. Most hop varieties favored today by craft brewers were developed by the USDA-ARS breeding program at Oregon State University. OSU also has a Fermentation Science program, which conducts research on how to evaluate and improve the flavor, aroma, and health properties of beer. Lunch will be provided.

The tour through the Columbia River Gorge and Hood River Valley begins at Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon and the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States. The next stop will be at Double Mountain Brewery in beautiful Hood River. Double Mountain was founded in 2007 and considers itself to be a “brewers’ brewery,” with an uncompromising focus on beer quality. Lunch will be served at the Hood River Marina on the Columbia River. From there you will be off to Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales. Their traditional brewery is located on a farm where they grow some of the hops they use in their hand-crafted beers.

Your last stop will be at Mt. Hood — Oregon’s tallest peak, towering at 11,240 feet.

Your tour includes transportation to and from the Hilton Portland, an experienced tour guide, lunch at a wine country bistro, and all tasting fees and gratuities.

On our way back from Corvallis the tour travels through some of Oregon’s hop-growing region. The group will stop and tour two hop farm facilities in the Hubbard, Oregon, area. There are currently 22 commercial hop farms in Oregon, many of which have been in the family for generations. Oregon is ranked second in hop production for the United States. The Oregon hop-growing region, situated around the 45th parallel with its mild temperate climate, is similar to that of the German hop-growing region.

The tour will also be visiting Fobert Farms, which is home to one of the Oregon Hop Commission research plots. With the support of the Hop Research Council, the OHC works with the USDA and WSU public hop breeding programs to grow advanced selections in this hop yard. This provides a chance to see how these experimental hop varieties will grow in a commercial hop yard. If a variety has all the important brewing and agronomic characteristics, it is then released as a new public variety by either the USDA or WSU. Lunch is included.
