It’s time I gave Fermentation Friday a shot. This month’s topic (hosted by The Panhandle Beer Snob and Redneck Brewery) is: “What, in the opinion of others, is the best beer you have ever made and why?” I’m kind of torn between three of the beers my husband and I have made. All three are [...]

Somehow, my husband Tim and I managed to score a private tour of Victory with one of the brewers last night. Hot damn! We were led around by the quality control/yeast guy, whose name also happens to be Tim. But I’ll go ahead and refer to him as Dr. Tim, as he has a PhD [...]
