SAB Miller sponsors beer scientist
SABMiller is to sponsor a new chair of Brewing Science at The University of Nottingham.
The first brewing scientist to take up the position will be Professor Katherine Smart, who joins the university's School of Biosciences from Oxford Brookes University. Professor Smart is one of the country's leading experts in yeast and fermentation process, a major factor in determining the quality and flavour of beer.
The chair, which will be sponsored by SABMiller with an initial grant of £167,000, also marks the launch of a new postgraduate programme at the university, an MSc in Brewing Science.
