Chuckanut’s Brewmaster Speaks at Master Brewers Assoc of America
With many years of ongoing success Co-Founder/Brewmaster Will Kemper has been asked to speak at this year’s Master Brewers Association of the Americas MBAA Annual Conference on Oct 23-26 in Austin, TX about beer styles, specifically in relation to Hybrid Ales such as Kolsch Style ale and German Alt ale. Will has been an active member since 1989 of the MBAA, an organization that has been providing technical leadership for the brewing industry for 125 years.
This conference provides brewers and members of the brewing community from across the US an opportunity to network with peers, discuss critical issues in brewing, and discover the methods of others. At the conference Will is a member of a round table about beer styles with Mitch Steele (Stone Brewing Co), Andrew Tveekrem (Market Garden Brewery), and Chad Yakobson (Crooked Stave Artisan Beers). Each member of the round table will discuss a specific style of beer and then open to questions from the audience.
Will Kemper is a Diploma member of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling based in London, England. He holds a BS in Chemical Engineering, is an alumnus of the Siebel Institute of Technology in Brewing Microscopy and Microbiology, and completed the first Master Brewers Program from the University of California at Davis. He taught brewery engineering for the American Brewers Guild in Davis, California for several years in the 1990s and his video lectures are still used by the Guild for their professional training courses.
Will has worked as Master Brewer for such breweries as Thomas Kemper, Aviator Ales (Seattle), Norwester Brewing (Portland, OR), Orange County Brewery (CA), Mile High Brewing (Denver), Dock Street Brewing (Philadelphia), Capital City Brewing (Washington DC), as well as several others. For most of these breweries he engineered and supervised construction, startup, and created recipes. Needless to say, he is an actual brewmaster!
