Tiago Brand茫o, of the European Brewing Convention and the Super Bock Group, also spoke to Bamforth鈥檚 teaching career, writing in a review: 鈥淏amforth鈥檚 work was enough to earn him a reputation as one of the most renowned brewing science professors, but this book explains why the 鈥楤鈥 in Beer, apart from its origins in Brewing, also has something to do with Bamforth!鈥
