This week, the guys go geek and talk with Dr. Jason Bolton, a food science professor at the University of Maine. In addition to creating and teaching the course "Brewing with Food Science" at UMaine, Jason is also the food safety specialist of the University's Cooperative Extension, which serves as a resource for Maine's brewing industry, as well as all food and beverage producers and retailers in the state.
While Noah and Matty were intimidated by his immense education, this good doctor was able to keep the conversation incredibly approachable and very funny, despite his handsomeness (some people get all the luck..). We talk about his work with Allagash (which resulted in a published paper), the loose cannon that is Brettanomyces, UMaine's role as a resource for the state's food and bev industry, and the goal and future of brewing education at state universities. We also talk a lot about balsamic vinegar, and most importantly, about the greatest show ever created - Seinfeld.
