Beer is the world’s most consumed alcoholic beverage and each beer’s unique flavor is impacted by both the physical environment from which the ingredients come, as well as the people who made it. Through lecture, readings, discussions, field-trips, and a case study final project, students in Geography of Beer will learn foundational principles of physical geography that influence food and beverage production, as well as the cultural and economic aspects of society that drive the production of certain food and beverages in particular places.
