The group went off to both Legges butchers/delicatessen and the Wye Valley Brewery yesterday [26th Oct] to look over samples of both Legges chutney's/mustards etc as well as the Wye Valley Brewery. At Wye Valley Brewery we were shown around by managing director Vernon Amor followed by a useful talking through of the brief set and an opportunity to ask related questions one to one with both Vernon and WVB marketing director Jennie Hermolle.
There was a wide range of questions asked by students from [getting the Clever Trevor award] "does daylight affect the quality of the beer?" to more straightforward and to the point queries about the brief and requirements or goalposts to work between.
Some pictures of the group's visit to Legges in Bromyard below:

:) Light can alter the properties of beer through a general process referred to as photochemistry, so to prevent from such beer should be stored in brown or green bottles.
ReplyDeleteMore interesting is the fact that drinking beer outside in a sunny day may promote photochemistry leading to so called "skunking" of beer...
AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE!
Showoff.. :-)
