As you may or may not know, I have been diagnosed with Celiac and cannot eat wheat or any other grain that contains gluten. This has been difficult considering I own a homebrew store. I’ve tried a few recipes in an attempt to get a good gluten free beer. Until recently all I had to [...]

I would like to talk to you today about supporting your local homebrew shop. A few things have happened recently and because of them I feel it is important to discuss why this is such an important topic. Not just because I own a homebrew store. If that were the case I wouldn’t be telling [...]
