KPU Brewing students participating in a hops research project with the Applied Genomics Centre and local industry growers.
Previous Brewing Student Research Projects
KPU Brewing students have had the opportunity to collaborate with the KPU Applied Genomics Centre (AGC) on research projects that involve scientific inquiry and address real-world challenges. By planning, conducting, analyzing, and presenting applied experimental research, students gain hands-on experience in the scientific process and learn how it can directly impact industry.
Some of the projects Brewing students have contributed to include exploring emerging trends, such as low alcohol beers, and examining how genomics and different processes affect the brewing process and improve flavours. These projects provide valuable insights into how the industry can innovate and develop beverages with reduced alcohol content. Additionally, students connect academic research with real-world applications, gaining valuable networking opportunities and a deeper understanding of how their work can influence industries such as agriculture, food, and beverage production.
