A few months ago I was contacted by a publisher who’d seen some photos of mine and wanted to put them in a book about clone recipes for homebrewers. Um, okey!
Yesterday I saw a tweet by the Beertographer (check out his photos, by the way. Absolutely beautiful beer porn) that his copies had just arrived. I lamented back in a tweet.
Seconds after I posted that, a knock came at the door.
“Didja hear dat?”
“What dat? Who dat?”
Well, my sweet Barleywhine, that’s called a book. It’s got about 40ish recipes from a bunch of high profile breweries.
Cigar City, which I haven’t yet had a chance to visit or try.
Rogue Ales, which I’ve been fortunate enough to taste, but not visit. Yet.
Stone Brewing which I’ve visited, tasted, taken a test at, fallen in love with…
The Bruery, which I’ve visited, tasted, re-taken a test at (rawr) and fallen in love with…
And also a handful of smaller breweries like Funkwerks!
Sorry, I still can’t get over seeing my name in another published book. Insert smiley face here.
And there’s Andy who now works at New Belgium! Good to see some friends in this book!

Cool to see some of your stuff published. For the most part my favorite beer is the beer in front of me that I have never tried. But overall beers I am always excited to get my hands on is BrewDog Punk IPA or Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. I also follow you on twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Keep doing what you do love the beer reviews and recipes.

First question is difficult question… I’m really enjoying all the Crooked Stave that has been available in CA, Vieille is probably my fav. I follow on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Founders and it’s a toss up between a Fresh Centennial and KBS. Depends on my mood and the weather quite frankly.
Also follow you on twitter, IG, and FB.
Ladyface…Ladyface IPA..I’ll take my copy signed by the photog… 😉
Alesmith fo sho. BA Speedway Stout! Equinox up in FTC is a close second. Love their Imperial Hefeweizen when they brew that since it is so unique and damn tasty. Almost 10% ABV is a bonus.
Alright, so I now also follow you on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Want that book please! 🙂
Big Island Imperial IPA from Island Brewing Company in Carpinteria. If you are lucky enough to have the bourbon barrel aged version it is also a treat.
Great website. I follow you on Instagram as well, keep the pictures coming.

My favorite brewery (and reason I fell in love with craft beer) is Three Floyds and their Space Station Middle Finger is a palate slam of hoppy amazingness.

I think my favorite beer is Dechutes Abyss but my favorite brewery is currently Hair of the Dog. I follow you on all three.
Favorite beer & brewery? Man, that’s a tough choice…there are so many good ones, especially in Colorado. I’m gonna have to go with Breckenridge Brewery. Not only do they serve several great beers, but the food is excellent and they’re in a great location. My favorite beer is their vanilla porter.
PS: Also following you on Facebook and Twitter.
