DAM Mock Lecture "What is Craft Beer?"

College of Agricultural Sciences DAM Lecture - "What is Craft Beer?"

The craft beer scene has exploded over the past 20 years, redefining what beer drinkers come to expect in beer. But, what actually is craft beer and how is it different from beer made by global macrobrewers? Is there a difference or is craft beer instead a movement or cultural phenomenon. Dr. Shellhammer will lead you on a brief journey through the history of beer in America arriving at the present-day craft beer scene and along the way discuss how beer is made and the influencing elements that make beer “craft”.
