    The Brilliant Mind Behind the Cicerone Certification Program: An Interview With Ray Daniels

    (originally posted December 29, 2009) True story: The Wench has a tendency to get star struck. But the “celebrities” in my world are the typical “celebrities” for the rest of our society. Forget Brad Pitt, I am completely enamored with amazing chefs, fabulous winemakers, crazy brewers and the biggest beer geeks in the industry. If […]

    Interview With MITCH STEELE of Stone Brewing Co.

    With a name like MITCH STEELE (I feel compelled to put his full name in caps), this man was destined for a life of badassery (hey, if it is considered a word on Twitter, it should be legit). And what could be more bad-ass than being the brewmaster of one of the most bad-ass breweries […]

    Interview With The Incomparable Adam Avery

    I am 99.9% certain that I was in rare form when I met Adam Avery during the 2010 Craft Brewers Conference.

    Back in the early 1990’s, the American craft beer scene was nothing like what it has evolved into today. The U.S. beer market was heavily dominated by corporate beers and imports.

    Brewer For A Day: IRON SPRINGS

    Although I have toured my fair share of breweries all over the country, until recently I had never actually observed the entire brewing process — from start to finish — in a production facility. This past week Christian Kazakoff, good friend and Brewmaster at Iron Springs Pub & Brewery, invited me to shadow him as […]
