Favorite Beer to Drink: Jesus what a question... It changes all the time, but probably Oskar Blues G'Knight or Mahr's Ungespundent if I can find it.
Years Brewing: 4? It has been a blur... probably from all the drinking... I mean *cough*quality assurance.
Type of Brewer: All Grain
Brewing Volume Capacity: I brew batches designed to yield a full 5 gallon keg.
Currently Fermenting: "The Death Star (unless Disney is asking)" English Imperial Black I.P.A., "Redfish" I.R.A., " Battle of the Bulge 2: All things come to an Ardennes" Belgian I.P.A.
What’s on tap or in the fridge: "Millennium Falcon (once again as long as it isn't Disney asking)" I.P.A.,"El Conquistador" Brett I.P.A., and Merlin's half of the Imperial Cream Ale I have been holding hostage "Wilhelm's Cream"
Where can we follow you: I joined Facebook like a week ago, so however you find me on there.
What do you do when you’re not brewing?: I worked at Bitter & Esters and spend the majority of my time brewery planning and trying to get more investors.
How did you start brewing? I read How to Brew and researched for a long time before my best friend and roommate got sick of me talking about it and not actually doing it. He bought a kit and said "Now make me beer dammit." So yeah... here we are.
Where do you want to go with your brewing? I am one of those crazy bastards who has decided to make a fantastic hobby into actual work. I am currently trying to launch a 15BBL brew house back in New Orleans, and myself and my partners have made a lot of progress towards that goal in the past couple months.
What recipe would you like to share? This one always seems to be a crowd pleaser. Low-ish A.B.V.%, an absolute instant win hop combo, and everyone loves All Day I.P.A., so people tend to like the idea of its nocturnal counterpart. Also, this was one of the two beers I brought to the first Bitter & Esters beer swap I attended. So maybe I am being a bit sentimental in choosing it as well, but I assure you it is wonderful.
