Charlie specializes in the study of the wholesomeness of beer including beer perception, polyphenols, foam stability, oxidation and flavor stability.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie gives a brief overview of some of the projects he has been working on this last year as well as his upcoming books.<\/li>\n<li>Today we dive into Charlie\u2019s long career which started at BRF in England in 1978. He tells us about the BRF and some of the research he did there.<\/li>\n<li>In 1983 Charlie moved to Bass in Burton and then later Preston Brook. We discuss some of the changes moving to a large brewery as well as some of the work Charlie did there.<\/li>\n<li>In 1991, Charlie moved back to BRF, but his job took on more of a global role. We discuss some of the topics he worked on.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie also started working as a visiting professor at Heriot Watt. We talk about what drove him to begin teaching.<\/li>\n<li>In 1999 Charlie moved to California to begin teaching full time at UC Davis. Charlie was instrumental in expanding their brewing programs there into a world-renown school.<\/li>\n<li>We talk about the University Extension program and Continuing education program at UC Davis and his role.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie also became an honorary professor at the University of Nottingham. We discuss this role.<\/li>\n<li>While Charlie retired from UC Davis in 2018, he has continued to consult at Sierra Nevada as well as work on books and many side projects. We discuss some of these.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie talks about the dozens of books he has written as well as some of the courses he has recorded.<\/li>\n<li>Finally we discuss his lifetime fascination with soccer and soccer goal-keeping.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie gives us his closing thoughts as well as thoughts about where brewing might go next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>iTunes Announcements<\/strong>: I launched a new <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/beersmith-home-beer-brewing\/id824963861\">video channel for the BeerSmith podcast on iTunes<\/a>, so subscribe now!
