Brewing TV: Episode 1

A webcast about homebrewing and beer culture.

Our first episode (which premieres today) visits four homebrewers gone pro at Fulton Brewing Co. and goes behind the scenes at the Upper Mississippi Mashout, one of the largest homebrew comps in America. We also brew a wheat beer, which bores the hell out of Jake's cat.

Brew-Mentors


In Greek mythology, when Odysseus went to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusted the care of his son, Telemachus, to Mentor. Mentor served as Telemachus's teacher and guide.


My mentor in brewing was my college friend Adam. He taught me how to brew, passing along all his knowledge of brewing techniques.


Who mentored you?
