I read on reddit that Professor Kevin Verstrepen (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology) has created a massive open online course (MOOC) on the science behind beer. The course goes live on edX on 24 Feb 2020.

Through a series of lectures and online course material, you can learn how the ingredients, different biochemical reactions, and process parameters influence the taste and aroma of beer. The course combines theory with small experiments to give hands-on experience with some of the concepts discussed in this course.
You also get a peek inside some of Belgium’s most iconic breweries (Orval, Duvel, Stella Artois, etc.) including discussions with the brew masters. It features talks from different Belgian brewers and maltsters, as well as from some of the most renowned academics on key features of the malting and brewing process, including Prof. Charlie Bamforth!
