All about the Data Driven NEIPA

Fully data-driven beer: the data-driven NEIPA

The first fully data-driven beer is here. Uiltje Brewing Company and Data Science Lab have worked together to develop the perfect – data-driven – New England India Pale Ale.Would you like to taste the beer?
Would you like to try it and see whether it really is the perfect NEIPA for you? You can order the Data Driven NEIPA here on the Uiltje Brewing Company website.

How was the beer recipe developed?

Web scraping is used to extract characteristics from the tasting notes in beer reviews. These characteristics are then coded into categories such as beer style, average score, hop flavours and aromas, bitterness, sweetness, caramel and fruit varieties. This produces a dataset, which is used to build a model for finding the ideal combination of flavours. It is not about the highest-scoring characteristic, but about balance. The results were shared with the brewers at Uiltje, who turned the data analysis into a recipe. Using the right combinations and proportions takes this NEIPA to the next level.
