About the Talk: Following the recent ACS webinar on the chemistry of beer, at the October meeting of the DFW Section we will take a first-hand look at brewing. Raymond Plasek, head brewer at Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant will discuss "Ales versus Lagers". Raymond is a native Texan with a passion for food and beer. He is a certified chef who retired his business in the spice industry to follow a passion for making hand-crafted malt beverages. He has been brewing professionally for 10 years and has made a name for himself in the brewing industry. He joined Gordon Biersch in 2009 and is a ‘very happy camper'. As preparation for this meeting, attendees are encouraged to listen to the recent ACS webinar, "Tapping into the Chemistry of Beer and Brewing", presented by Charles Bamforth, with the Department of Food Science and Technology at UC Davis: acswebinars.org/bamforth.
