With the advent of more precise gene editing technology such as CRISPR, bioengineered small grains may find their way into the malting supply chain in coming years.

Creating a Safe Non-Alcohol Beer Product

The Brewers Association Technical Committee

Brewing a non-alcohol (NA) beer can be challenging from a flavor standpoint, but the lack of alcohol also creates food safety considerations that are separate from alcohol-containing beers.

The Future of Lager Brewing

Jack Hendler and Joe Connolly

In this excerpt from Modern Lager Beer, a new release from Brewers Publications, the authors discuss coming trends, ingredients, and processes in the world of lager brewing.

Grodziskie

Horst Dornbusch

Traditional Piwo Grodziskie is a highly carbonated, light-bodied, oak-smoked session wheat ale, which in its homeland is considered “the pride of Polish brewing.”

Beer Oasis

Bob Barnes

The Entertainment Capital of the World is certainly not the beer desert it once was, as attendees of the Craft Brewers Conference April 21–24 will be delighted to discover.

A Note From the Editor

Jill Redding, Editor-in-Chief

This issue also includes our usual informative departments, plus brewery-generated news about the craft brewing community in the Brewery Updates and Beer Releases sections; and new products and services from the allied trade in Industry Supplier News.

Cheers, and we hope you enjoy this issue of The New Brewer.
