## About

The Zythologist is a science-based brewery and analytical testing company. This means we not only make unique combinations of flavour molecules in beer, but also help craft breweries improve their beers and processes.

We are a group of PhD scientists and engineers that have a passion for beer and learning how things work. Our approach towards brewing was a bit different. To make high-quality beer, we first started discovering how brewing works chemically, analysing beer and what constitutes its quality.

There are over 40 dimensions and 300 compounds impacting flavour and quality that help shape beer in a specific way and their analysis can be quite complex. The insights derived from these analyses have the potential to improve efficiencies, save costs, and offer a path for product differentiation. We soon realised this is the true path to redefining the standard of beer.
