Developments in Brewing Processing and Analytical Techniques for the Evaluation of Beer Quality

Dear Colleagues,

The world of beer, both craft and industrial, is constantly evolving and always provides new growth stimuli to producers, researchers, and consumers. Despite several contributions investigating beer-related topics, much remains to be considered. Therefore, you and your colleagues are invited to submit research articles, reviews, short communications, and technical reports containing experimental and theoretical results for inclusion in this Special Issue related to the following topics:

• Analysis of beer trends;
• Beers with low or no alcohol content and dealcoholization technologies;
• Beer and health, beer and nutrition, beer safety;
• Beer regulation;
• Brewing process to produce industrial and craft beer;
• Conventional and non-conventional brewing yeasts and fermentations;
• Development and evaluation of beer packaging materials; migration tests;
• Economic and social impact of craft and industrial beer;
• Innovation in brewing technologies and brewing raw materials;
• Environmental impact and LCA applied to craft and industrial beer;
• Machines and systems for beer production;
• Recent development in analytical methods applied to evaluate beer quality;
• Recovery and use of beer by-products;
• Sensory properties of beer and consumer science.
