Join us for the next UBG seminar with Ryan Tockstein, Quality Manager for Uinta Brewing. Topics covered will be on the most typical and a few not so typical brewery microbes. The discussion will cover their characteristics, detection methods, prevention, and risk to product. We will also discuss various media types, tips and tricks, and pitfalls to avoid.

We'll be at Red Rock Fashion Place from 4-6pm on Tues. Dec. 3. Bring some cans or bottles to share and make sure to register! This class is free for Utah Brewers Guild members. Non-UBG members can attend for a $10 fee at the door.
