 The main goals are the following:
-*Democratise DNA analyses
+*To expand public understanding of molecular technologies (i.e. DNA sequencing) and their connection to culture.
-*Demystify and explain genetic data
+*To help non-scientist to study and analyse their beer samples at molecular level.
-*Produce an open access knowledge database
+*To motivate citizen scientists to generate an open access molecular dataset.
-*Understand the brewing process better

 =Beer DNA?=
-Beer is alive, and therefore it contains DNA. The DNA comes from its ingredients (hops, grains, yeast) and from the microbes that were present on the ingredients and in the brewing environment. There are 1,000+ yeast varieties used for brewing and 200+ hops species, each one bearing a different DNA. Artisanal beer (craft beer) is trendy: microbreweries produce a large variety of beers, each one with its unique recipe and taste. It seems impossible to taste them all, so we are making a "tree of beers" based on their biochemical composition.
