Newslink: Carlsberg and Microsoft are tired of waiting for beer

Here’s a little-known fact to quench your thirst for beer knowledge: One of the reasons it takes so long to develop new beers is because brewers have to rely on actual humans–and techniques like chromatography and spectrometry–to test liquids and detect flavors and aromas. Carlsberg thinks it’s found a better way. With help from researchers at Aarhus University, the Danish beer-maker has developed sensors that are able to detect differences between beer flavors, the Financial Times reports. Now, the company is teaming up with Microsoft to help interpret that data via artificial intelligence and streamline the lengthy beer-making process.
