project aims to survey, identify, and understand the indigenous and non-indigenous micro-organisms found in_x000D_

and improve the performance of these microorganisms is of paramount importance for quality and consistency_x000D_
of beer products. In this project, Amsterdam Brewing Co. and the University of Toronto will identify and_x000D_
understand the behaviour of wild microorganisms and adapt indigenous strains to develop beers with novel_x000D_
organoleptic properties and consistency. Advancements in these areas will not only benefit Amsterdam_x000D_
Brewing Co. in Canada but will bring more interest in the Canadian and Ontario craft beer industry setting it to_x000D_
