First TestMarket Beer Report From BDAS, LLC

BDAS, LLC is starting to evaluate beers in the local market via its chemical testing and trained sensory panel to provide consumers with some knowledge concerning styles and acceptability of beers served in the local marketplaces.

Our first example is from Trader Joe's and is a beer made for them: Jose Light Beer. Other Trader Joe's beers and a local beer (West 6th's IPA) will follow.

Check out the American Society of Brewing Chemists website, the journal or contact us for details (and reprints).
