In today's episode, Beau Warren of the innovative "Species X" brewery, details how we collaborated together on an A.I. model to craft the perfect beer. Dubbed "Krohn&Borg" lager, you can join us in Columbus, Ohio on Thursday night to try it yourself! 🍻

Meet Beau and me at the Species X Beer Project public launch party on Thursday, February 8th from 5-8pm. Hope to see you there! The address is 408 N 6th St, Columbus, OH 43215. I'll have a mic and camera on hand so that you can let the world know what you think of your first taste of an A.I. beer 🤖🍺

Beau:

• Is the Head of Brewing at Species X, where he’s using machine learning to brew groundbreaking beer.

• Has a decade of previous experience working in brewing roles.

• Is a Certified Level II Cicerone (certified beer expert)

• Studied microbiology at the Siebel Institute in Montreal

• Has a certificate in Data Analytics from The Ohio State University.

• A star college football player at Virginia Tech, he was invited to play football professionally with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams (then in St. Louis) but opted to focus on beer and A.I. instead!

Today’s episode will be of interest to anyone who loves beer or dreams of applying A.I. to their area of domain expertise, regardless of whether you’re already an avid data scientist or an aspiring one.

In this episode, Beau details:

• How beer is brewed.

• How he moved from being a listener to my podcast to a collaborator with me on his A.I. beer project.

• How he wrangled years and years of brewing data to create a super-valuable proprietary data set for training machine learning models.

• How he leveraged his self-taught ML skills to generate paradigm-shifting beer recipes humans might not ever dream up themselves.

• The specific Python libraries he used to train his ML models and select the beer recipe that’s most likely to be a big hit with beer-drinkers.
