Our lab manager, Lauren Torres, has been chosen take over as the quality instructor for several of the Brewer's Association's upcoming Basics of Beer Quality Workshops! Lauren will instruct alongside the Brewer's Association's current quality instructor Mary Pellettieri for the next two workshops and will then take over as lead instructor for three additional workshops in 2018. 

Lauren has been a part of our Bell's family for eight years. As lab manager, she leads our brewery's lab team involved in testing Bell's beer through chemistry, microbiology and sensory analysis.  

The Basics of Beer Quality Workshop is a hands-on class that covers the fundamentals of brewing microbiology and physical analysis commonly used for quality assurance in small breweries, according to the Brewer's Association. The workshops are typically hosted by craft breweries or universities and allow the attendants to get first hand experience with brewing equipment and materials. 

We are all excited for Lauren as she shares her skills and helps inspire other breweries' quality programs.
