How Artificial Intelligence could create your next beer

The Carlsberg Research Laboratory in Denmark creates 1,000 different beer samples, daily. With such a strong focus on research, it's no surprise that Carlsberg is looking towards the future, and the opportunities that technology can provide. The company's new multi-million research study, enticingly named The Beer Fingerprinting Project, looks set to change the way how new beers are created and enjoyed – and it's all thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Intelligent beer The brainchild of Jochen Förster, Director and Professor Yeast Fermentation, Carlsberg Group, the aim of the pioneering project is to use a series of high-tech sensors which can accurately guage the delicate nuances and aromas in the beer, mapping out a'flavour fingerprint' for each individual sample. Information gained from this system can then be used to explore new brewing organisms, ultimately leading to the creation of new beers.
