SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] Trademark and Brand Management for Maltsters
DESCRIPTION:Trademark! Trademark! Trademark! It’s all we seem to hear about when it comes to a company’s intellectual property. And\, yes\, that’s important\, but what about all of the other information that’s out there that pertains to a brand like trade dress\, brand consistency\, and the look and feel of brand assets? How does a brewer or maltster tell their story and protect it? John Szymankiewicz from the Beer Law Center in Raleigh\, NC\, will talk about the legal side of things. Highlights will include trademark\, trade dress and secrets\, noncompete agreements\, and nondisclosure agreements (at least in terms of brand management).  \nSpeaker\nJohn Szymankiewicz is a licensed Professional Engineer and Attorney with the Beer Law Center in North Carolina. Embarking on a second career\, John went to law school at night while juggling a demanding full-time job\, a family\, and teaching at a local martial arts school. \nWhile launching his Raleigh law practice\, John saw the need for trained\, understanding attorneys focused on their clients’ needs in some key areas. Most importantly\, this means developing an ongoing relationship\, becoming a business partner\, with clients instead of being merely a supplier of services. As such\, in this law office\, we strive to find the right solution for the client now and in the future. We look for opportunities to work collaboratively and keep costs down for our clients\, principally individuals and small businesses. \nIn addition to being a lawyer\, John is an avid homebrewer who got bit by the brewing bug shortly after he discovered that beer need not be yellow fizzy stuff. John believes in continuous\, lifelong learning and is passionate about the Craft Beer industry. Part of that industry passion includes adopting the spirit that that giving back to the community and supporting the local\, independent business person is part of our responsibility as good Beer Citizens. \nRegistration\n\nRegistration is free for Craft Maltsters Guild members & $20 for non-Craft Maltsters Guild members. \nREGISTER NOW\nWebinars take place using Zoom\, a web-based platform. Access to high-speed internet is necessary to fully participate – and a headset with a microphone is recommended. A confirmation email containing Zoom Meeting details will be sent to you after you’ve registered. \nHave questions? Please contact Guild ED\, Jesse Bussard at director@craftmalting.com.

SUMMARY:Biotech & Barley Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Advancements in a wide range of biotechnologies are having a significant impact on the way improvements are being made to crops; whether to increase yields or to make them more resilient to stressors\, barley is no different. Given the shifting landscape of the biotechnology industry\, the American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) is hosting a webinar to develop a shared understanding of what technologies exist\, how they are being applied\, and the implications for their use. Registration is now open for this live webinar to be held on June 15th at noon CT. \nDr. Jason Walling\, a research geneticist at the USDA-ARS Cereal Crops Research Unit and director of the Barley Malt Quality Lab\, will provide an overview of the history of plant breeding through today\, including the latest advancements in gene editing. This will establish a shared lexicon of terms and approaches. He will illustrate how these technologies are being applied by showcasing some case studies on barley and other cereal crops. Dr. Fan-Li Chou\, vice president for scientific affairs and policy at the American Seed Trade Association\, will dive a bit deeper and share what regulatory frameworks overlay these technologies\, and will specifically walk through the regulations that impact the shared case studies. Domestic and international implications will be explored that lean on the markets most relevant to the barley industry. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session with our presenters. \nClick HERE for registration\, which is limited to the first 100 attendees. A recording of the webinar will be made available a week after the event. If you are unable to attend the live session but are interested in being notified when the recording is available\, skip registration and send an email to Ashley (ashley@ambainc.org) directly to get added to the mailing list.

SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] American Single Malt: The Next Big Thing in Whiskey
DESCRIPTION:Join Steve Hawley and Joe O’Sullivan from the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission to learn about how a group of distillers from across the country are banding together to establish\, promote and protect an entirely new category of whiskey. During the seminar\, we’ll discuss how the Commission crafted a formal definition for American Single Malt Whiskey\, what it takes to ratify that definition with the federal government\, how they’re advancing their mission in the trade and with consumers\, and what distiller’s on the leading edge of whiskey look for in malt. \nSpeakers\nSteve Hawley was part of the original team in 2010 that built the Westland Distillery brand and business from the ground up. He began his career in the advertising industry focused largely on beverage brands including Constellation Brands\, E&J Gallo\, Pabst Blue Ribbon\, Starbucks\, and Pepsi to name a few. After years of helping others realize their visions\, Steve wanted to build his own in the world of whiskey he has such a great passion for. With Westland\, he’s not only given birth to a widely respected brand but also an entirely new category of whiskey in American Single Malt. In his role as a founder and President of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission\, he is working to establish and protect the category across the globe. \nJoseph O’Sullivan is the Master Distiller for Clear Creek Distillery\, Hood River Distillers\, and all associate brands. Before being appointed to his current role\, Joseph was first hired by Clear Creek founder Steve McCarthy in 2005 as a distillery mechanic\, barrel coordinator\, and frequent delivery driver.  Later he became an apprentice in the craft working directly under McCarthy during one of the brand’s most foundational periods.  Serving as a frequent public speaker he quickly developed a passion for whole fruit fermentation and the spirit that would later be known as American Single Malt.  It was during this time that craft spirits as an industry emerged. In 2010\, he moved to New York City where he served as a consultant to many of that region’s first distilleries and breweries and was responsible for running day-to-day operations at Greenhook Ginsmiths.  After his time in New York\, Joseph returned to the Pacific Northwest and was offered the opportunity to serve as Head Distiller and later Master Distiller for all Hood River Distiller brands while remaining headquartered at Clear Creek. Now approaching 18 years of experience in distillation\, Joseph’s career has witnessed the rise of American spirits to the prominence it holds today.  He is extremely proud of the accomplishments this community has achieved and works each day to return the education and passion which was gifted to him by so many. \nRegistration\nRegistration is free for Craft Maltsters Guild members & $20 for non-Craft Maltsters Guild members. \nREGISTER NOW\nWebinars take place using Zoom\, a web-based platform.

SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] The Deeper Chemistry of Malt Quality: Starch & Gelatinization Temperatures
DESCRIPTION:Brewers rely on starch from mostly malt to provide fermentable sugars. The fermentation doesn’t always go to plan for a range of reasons but sometimes it is because the fermentable sugar profile isn’t always the same. How does this link to malt? When considering malt quality\, the inherent grain starch properties influence the fermentable sugars\, along with starch degrading enzymes. While we can get data on the starch degrading enzymes in malt\, do we know enough about the starch properties? Most of the methodology to measure starch properties is complex\, costly\, and very time-consuming. However\, measuring starch gelatinization can provide information on the potential impact of mashing temperature on starch gelatinization and therefore the efficiency of enzymes in hydrolyzing starch to fermentable sugars. This webinar will describe the detailed structure of starch\, the interaction between starch and the storage protein\, the slight increase in gelatinization temperature from grain to malt\, the large ranges in gelatinization temperature\, and how this could impact brewers. \nSpeaker\nDr. Glen Fox is the Anheuser-Busch Endowed Professor of Malting and Brewing Science at the University of California\, Davis campus. His roles include teaching the undergraduate brewing courses\, as well as conducting research with graduate students. His current research focus is on cereal starch structure and its impact on wort quality\, fermentation efficiency\, and beer quality. Prior to joining UC Davis\, he was a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland’s Centre for Nutrition and Food Science in Australia from 2010 to 2019.
