The American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) Sustainability Committee has officially launched their Baselining Barley project, which is the first industry-wide collaborative effort to articulate the environmental impact of barley production. As a result of this work, a data monitoring tool will be developed to track continuous improvement throughout the industry. The need for such an effort has been a leading priority for many AMBA member companies who are seeking to achieve various sustainability related goals. This work complements other efforts of the committee, which is also exploring alternative nitrogen sources and strategies and exploring ways to better communicate sustainable attributes of barley varieties.

This meetup will provide CBC attendees the opportunity to network with members of the Brewers Association Technical Committee and Subcommittees. As part of the event, don’t miss the exclusive opportunity to taste and evaluate eight beers brewed with the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service experimental hops from the Hop Quality Group. Your nose matters in selecting what could become a new commercially available hop!

Tuesday, April 29, 2025. 5:00 PM – 6:30 Pm. Room 205-207, Level 2.

See you there.
