Started drinking Sam Adams in the ’80, after college. Started homebrewing in the ’90s. Visited Germany and Czech Rep. in the 2000s, and learned to love continental lagers. I’m all about balance in beer--whether it’s Stone’s Arrogant Bastard, or, a light crystal weizen... My pet peeves are ignorant hop-heads. Not all hop-heads are ignorant...but a few are, and seem to think if it ain’t over-the-top-hopped, it ain’t beer. Balance, my boy, balance. It’s what breaks the best beer from the rest. [ less ]
