Beeronomics 2015

The Beer Doctors at the 2013 Beeronomics conference

Almost 2 years ago, we attended at conference in York, UK called Beeronomics. Academic papers were
presented during the day, but in the evenings the real fun began. For our first night there, the conference committee rented an entire pub!!! We were able to sample about 10 different English beers.

The following night, about 10 local brewmasters came and gave a 5 minute talk each on one of their beers (see photo on left). As they talked, we were given a glass of that beer to sample. It was quite an educational and fun evening. Afterwards we were taken to the York beer festival. All in all, the conference was a hit with us. We are planning on presenting a paper on Sustainability trends in the craft beer industry at the next Beeronomics conference in Seattle in Sept. 2015. Mark your calendars!

Nancy to deliver TEDx talk on beer

Enjoying a pint in Dublin

We all know that many Americans in general are largely geographically illiterate. National Geographic reported in 2006 that 9 of 10 Americans could not find Afghanistan on a world map! Well, help is on the way.

Nancy has been selected to deliver a TEDx talk!!! No she won't be wearing blue tights with a red cape, but she will be giving a talk that focuses on using beer to reduce geographic illiteracy. Her talk is on March 21 and I, for one, can't wait to hear it! I will post a link to her talk when it is uploaded.
