2012 Malt & Brew Workshop set for Aug. 22-23

December 9, 2011—The two-day, third annual Briess Malt & Brew Workshop is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday,  August 22-23, 2012, in Chilton, Wisconsin. If you're thinking of attending, please make a note on your calendar that we encourage participants to arrive on Tuesday evening, August 21.

Registration materials and an agenda will be posted on the Briess website after the beginning of the new year. We're designing the 2012 workshop to be on par with the 2011 workshop which featured Dr. Michael Lewis and John Mallet of Bell's Brewery as guest speakers. In the post-workshop survey, one participant noted:

"The presentations had a lot of information to absorb, and the Q+A sessions were priceless. It was a lot for two days, but that's what made it so doable for a working brewer. If it were any longer then that it would have been difficult to get away from work. I found something of value in each presentation."

Sessions will be held on malting and brewing with specialty malts, a sensory session to identify flavors contributed by specialty malts and others, plus indepth tours of the iconic Briess malthouse, roasting operations and modern 500-barrel brewhouse/extraction plant.

Pre-registration will be required and will be limited to 30 participants currently working in a licensed commercial brewery or in a brewing-related capacity. The $125.00 registration fee includes the cost of all meals. Transportation and lodging is not included.  Chilton is located about 90 miles north of Milwaukee, 35 miles south of Green Bay, and 35 miles southeast of Appleton.
