February 2025 with Dr Bob Parker from Pitt

Good riddance to Dry January and hello to a new episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast. We begin the show with a tribute to PileZ (RIP) before jumping straight into a Look Back / Look Ahead (pay attention Barrel Club members.) Next, we talk about a Brew Bound article about breweries closing in Colorado, which leads to a discussion on what would be most helpful for breweries in PA (but mostly Allegheny county). Then, we are joined by our guest, Dr. Bob Parker from the University of Pittsburgh! Bob is the Associate Dean for Graduate Education in the Swanson School of Engineering as well as a professor of Chemical Engineering, but most importantly, teaches a course at Pitt called Science, Technology and Culture of Craft Brewing! Bob tells us how this course came to be, what the students learn during the course, how the students are evaluated, and much, much more. We close out this episode with another round of Watch, Listen, Learn. Thanks for listening!
