Craft Beer Chemistry
Season 2
Episode 13
Ahh, science has never tasted so delicious. It’s been around for centuries but it seems like beer has never been more popular. Microbreweries are cranking out special stouts, IPAs, lagers and pilsners. And the flavors and aromas of each of those brews all come down to chemistry. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Reactions takes on craft beer chemistry.
