Brewers Publications® Presents: Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer
Boulder, Colo. • July 12, 2021 — With craft brewers continuing to push the envelope on ingredient innovation, Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer, the latest release from Brewers Publications®, is essential reading for those seeking information on the responsible and legal use of cannabis in brewing.
Author Keith Villa, Ph. D., is a trailblazer in the rapidly growing market of non-alcoholic cannabis-infused beers as the brewmaster and co-founder of CERIA Brewing, based in Arvada, Colorado. In 2018, CERIA made Colorado brewing history with the state’s first THC-infused, non-alcoholic craft beer. Dr. Villa began his decades-long brewing career as founder and head brewmaster of Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors, where he retired after 32 years. In addition to practical instruction and recipes, Villa explores the unique characteristics of cannabis plants and the similarities to hops, as well as the physiological effects of terpenes and cannabinoids.
“As the stigma around cannabis continues to dissipate, it is my aim to bring cannabis to the people in a form that’s socially acceptable,” said Villa. “Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer, is a science-based guide for brewers at any scale, providing the information they need to learn about cannabis and to legally and responsibly enjoy a different type of beer.”
