Terence Sullivan, left, the product manager at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., and host Dave Schlom talk about the science behind beer.

On this special episode of The Blue Dot Report, produced for North State Suds and Spirits Day as part of NSPR's fall membership drive, Dave Schlom investigates the science behind beer, with a guest who knows quite a bit about it. 

With more than 20 years at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Terence Sullivan started as a shift brewer, moved on to cellar manager—overseeing all fermentation and yeast handling—and now works in Product Development where he and his team build beers and brands from the ground up. 

Terence has a fermentation science degree from UC Davis and for two decades has been instrumental in the brewing process at Sierra Nevada.

Dave Schlom is the longtime host and creator of Blue Dot. From surfing to Voyager in interstellar space, rock guitar to orcas in our imperiled oceans, the topics on Blue Dot are as varied as the host’s interests and connections -- which are pretty limitless! An internationally respected space history journalist, Dave is also deeply fascinated by all aspects of the grand workings of nature’s awesome machinery on scales ranging from galactic to subatomic. And topics take in all aspects of the arts and sciences.
