The Bio-Chemistry Department at Birmingham University houses a very unusual school - The British School of Malting and Brewing. In this print from December 1969, Albert Wadeson, a technical assistant at the university's Department of Bio-Chemistry, is seen diligently taking a specific gravity reading from beer brewed by students. Behind him stands the school's remarkable miniature brewery, buzzing with machinery and equipment. This snapshot captures an intriguing blend of education, science, and indulgence. As the students learn about biochemistry principles in relation to malting and brewing processes, they also get hands-on experience in creating their own alcoholic beverages. It is fascinating to witness how academia merges with practicality within these walls. The image evokes nostalgia for the 1960s era when such unconventional educational practices were embraced. The sight of Albert engrossed in his work symbolizes dedication and expertise that contribute to shaping future brewers. Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into this unique facet of Birmingham University's history through this photograph. It serves as a reminder that education can take many forms and sometimes involves unexpected subjects like beer production. Let this picture transport you back to an era where learning was not confined to traditional classrooms but extended into laboratories filled with bubbling vats and aromatic hops.
