Description

Brewing and distilling - the production of drinks like beer and whisky - is both an ancient craft and a large-scale manufacturing process.

It is also a vital part of Scotland's economy and identity. Whisky makes up nearly 30% of total UK food and drink exports.

This time on Shaping The Future, chief scientist Prof Tadhg O'Donovan is with Prof Nicholas Willoughby, Heriot-Watt University's professor of sustainable bio-processing.

We’re Shaping the Future of Sustainable Brewing and Distilling.
