How long have you been a Baron?<\/strong> Over 2 years.<\/p>\n

How long have you been brewing?<\/strong> Approx 2 years. Brewed extract beers for around 6 months then stepped up to All Grain and never looked back.<\/p>\n

What style do you brew most often?<\/strong> I don’t feel like I stick to any specific style. But I admit I do like hoppy beers.<\/p>\n

What got you into brewing?<\/strong> I always wanted to try brewing. I love cooking and to me it was an extension to that. It helped having friends and the club push me into it as well.<\/p>\n

How often do you brew?<\/strong> 1-2 times a month. My wife loves beer as much as I do.<\/p>\n

Do you brew solo or with other people?<\/strong> Solo mostly but it is always fun to brew with friends whenever possible.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite style and why?<\/strong> I wouldn’t say I have a favorite. Belgians and Hoppy beers I like the best. I like sticking to styles but sometimes thinking outside the box is just as good. There are all kinds of good beer out there not in “style”.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite beer?<\/strong> I love many Craft brewers, but no favorite. Bell’s, Stone, Dogfish, Three Floyds, Southern Tier are all up on the top of my list.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite brewery and why?<\/strong> Hard Hops Brewery because I can make whatever I want.<\/p>\n

What has been your favorite Baron meeting?<\/strong> I have always enjoyed all the Barons meetings. The Christmas parties and Unibroue (one of the Belgian meetings) are my favorites.<\/p>\n

What is your commercial to homebrew consumption ratio?<\/strong> 50\/50. I like variety so until I can have an endless amount of beers on tap I will probably always explore commercial beers. There are many beers I like to try but don’t want to drink 5 gallons of so a bomber or 6-pack is perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
