Member News: ABERDEEN SCIENCE CENTRE AND BREWDOG TEAM UP FOR FLAVOUR-FOCUSED NIGHT OF BEER AND DISCOVERY

Local visitor attraction partners with BrewDog for an exclusive beer tasting experience

Aberdeen Science Centre is collaborating with BrewDog for an exclusive adult-only event, “The Science of Flavour – For the Love of Beer.”

Taking place at Aberdeen Science Centre from 6pm on Thursday, 28th August, this experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at the science behind your favourite pint.

During the event, guests will dive into the brewing process, exploring how flavour, aroma, and quality are developed and perfected, all guided by BrewDog’s expert brewing and quality team. From hops to high-tech innovation, the event celebrates both craft and chemistry in a unique sensory experience.

Participants will explore the science behind the brewing process, followed by a tasting flight experience to discover how taste and smell influence the perception of beer. Guests will also have the opportunity to taste one of BrewDog’s new products – a Honeycomb Stout, in collaboration with Mackie’s of Scotland.

Bryan Snelling, Chief Executive Officer at Aberdeen Science Centre said: “We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with BrewDog for our upcoming ‘The Science of Flavour – For the Love of Beer’ event. This is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate local producers and demonstrate the science behind some of people’s favourite beverages as they learn about how it’s made, where it comes from and why it tastes the way it does.”

Tickets for this experience cost £20 per person, which includes after-hours access to Aberdeen Science Centre’s many interactive exhibitions.

Fraser Gormley, Chief Quality Officer at BrewDog Said “We absolutely love beer at BrewDog, and engagement sessions like this allow us to continue to educate our teams while keeping up with the exiting new beers we make. We wanted to share this with our customers in this beer academy pilot with a view to holding more interactive tasting sessions with a wider audience.

“We’re super excited about this stuff and want others to be as passionate about great beer as we are!”.

With a limited number of spaces available, the event promises an intimate and immersive evening of learning, tasting and conversation. Whether guests are curious beer drinker, a fan of BrewDog, or just looking for a fun and educational night out, this event is not to be missed.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
