This new short course, which reinforces the IBD continuing professional development offering, is aimed at all brewers and quality professionals who want to improve beer quality through sensory and flavour and run effective sensory panels. The course would also benefit serious home brewers.
What does The Beer Sensory Analysis course provide? The knowledge and tools required to understand and control beer flavour. It will enable learners to run a range of sensory tests, assess the results and ultimately to improve their brewing process and also their beer. All displayed in an engaging, interactive and multimedia format.
This course has been developed in collaboration with leading sensory scientists and brewing professionals.
It provides the same technical excellence found in all IBD qualifications, with the benefit of not needing to sit a formal exam.
The Beer Sensory Analysis course includes a downloadable and useful PDF with technical information such as:
The basis of beer flavour
The descriptors and thresholds of over 100 key flavour compounds
The beer flavour terminology system and flavour wheel
How to recruit, screen and train an effective sensory panel
Tasting room design for breweries of all sizes
Tasting forms for more than 10 sensory tests
The statistical tables, equations and calculations to interpret test results
The course features text, videos, animations, quizzes, and games to help enhance your learning. At the end of the course, learners will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Stuart Howe, IBD Technical Development Manager, explains: “Whatever the size of your brewery, this course should help you to better understand beer flavour and to get the best value from your sensory endeavours. It may also save you spending money on the services of companies who offer sensory management systems and training. We're confident that not only will you enjoy the course, it'll also benefit your career, your brewery, your beer, your consumers and also your sales volumes!”
Tom Shelston, IBD Chief Executive Officer, points out: “This is the fourth short course that we've launched over the past year, showing the IBD commitment to continuous professional development. We're reinforcing our learning offering with these on demand courses to provide dynamic, flexible and cost effective ways to educate professionals in our industry”.
