The BioVT department at the 14th International Brewing Competition
The Brewing AG of the Chair of Bioprocess Engineering (BioVT) participated in the 14th International Brewing Competition in Hamburg, organized by the Campus-Perle brewing group of TU Hamburg-Harburg. This year, the team brought a taste of summer to the competition with their latest creation: Palatinate Paradise Pale Ale.
Under the motto “A holiday in a glass – straight from the Palatinate”, the team developed a fruity Pale Ale combining refreshing notes of apricot, mango, and passion fruit with a pleasant bitterness. With an alcohol content of 5.5% ABV, 35 IBU, and a colour of 30 EBC, Palatinate Paradise was designed to bring a little tropical holiday feeling to Kaiserslautern – especially for those who have to return to the laboratory the next morning.
As in previous years, the competition offered brewing teams the opportunity to present their creations, exchange experiences, and put their brewing skills to the test. In addition to evaluating the beers themselves, the event provided a platform for creative beer presentations and discussions about brewing techniques, ingredients, and flavour profiles.
For the BioVT Brewing AG, the competition was once again an excellent opportunity to combine scientific knowledge with practical brewing experience and creativity. Beyond the competition itself, the event offered plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow brewing enthusiasts from other universities.
