Description

CIBD and The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling at Heriot-Watt University is delighted to invite you to an evening of research presentations. This will be a hybrid event, taking place on the Heriot-Watt Riccarton Campus and online. The speakers will cover a wide range of topics from the very practical (counterfeit spirits detection, fermentation microbiota, and valorisation of CO2) through to the highly applied (high gravity fermentation and carbon footprints as well as data driven assessment of spirit quality and cask health).

Established in 1886, we are the world's leading professional body for brewers, distillers and allied professionals. This was recognised by the grant of the Royal Charter in 2023, which has led to us transitioning to the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers (CIBD) on 1st January 2025. As the CIBD, we are committed to building on the legacy of the institute and to make our products and services more relevant to the drinks industry.

CIBD events are professional environments. Where alcohol is served or tasting forms part of the programme, Members and Fellows must conduct themselves in a manner that maintains the dignity of the Institute and the profession.
