Lost to the sands of time – If dad had private reserve that was special stuff82. What was your first Craft Beer you ever had and what did you think?
Not craft beer, that didn’t have a huge effect on me. It was German Pils & Weis beer that I first fell in love with while studying abroad in Germany. Different compared to American light lager, it actually had flavor.3. How did you get start in brewing? Homebrewer? Etc??? What was the first batch you ever made?
Returning from Germany and looking at what was available in the store. Attempting to make something that was better than what was available at the time. I don’t remember what the first beer was but I’m sure it wasn’t remarkable.4-1. What is your favorite beer you have ever made? And why?
My beers are like my children, I love them all.5c. If you had to live for the rest of your life with only drinking one beer and not one of your own. Who
