Crafted Crate
We love beer! Crafted with passion, by brewers that share our same love. Brewers that spend an entire year shaping the taste of one recipe to create something truly remarkable. When you put freedom and great ideas in the hands of brewers that have no boundaries or corporate agenda, they become creative and develop truly great beer.

Interview with a Head Brewer – Gimme Celt’er
We’ve done quite a few interviews with head brewers in the past here, but none quite measure up to our latest. They were all good, but for sheer quirkyness our latest is a cut above. The Comfy Computer Chair of Fame had a hard time holding this brewer down. Fantastic interview nonetheless. Hold onto your hats and get to know our latest interviewee, The Celt Experience head brewer, Mr. Tom Newman. Remind us never to ask any more about “dogwhelks” (you’ll understand). Name(s): Tom, Thomas, Thomas G, George @CeltBrewer Brewery Name: The Celt Experience (‘Celt’) How long have you beer head brewer/brewmaster there? Since 2003 officially Any type of formal…

Interview with a Homebrewer – Brew Builder
Once again we are starting up with our interviews of the worlds homebrewers. Our latest hails from the UK and as strange as it seems homebrew’s to save money (or at least keep more of his own).

Interview with a Homebrewer – Brew Duo
The homebrewing community is thought to be one of the solitary brewer standing forth at his mash tun or brew kettle, contemplating his next step or next brew. Yes, there are homebrew clubs and such, but rarely do we get to see a couple that actually brews together. Past experience, and quite a few, “That’s nice, honey” has this writer heard from his own spouse while brewing. We are excited to bring to CellarMonk our first husband and wife brewers. From the way it sounds, this will be a lifelong endeavor. Please welcome to the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame (Lara, women first ya know) and to the Not So…

Interview with a Beer Blogger – Nothing but Beersay
Beer bloggers are a lucky lot. They get to enjoy their subject (beer and the drinking of beer) and at the same time chronicle the event. Our next blogger in the spotlight hails from Great Britain, but he has a decidedly worldly beer palate. Having a look at his blog, one can definitely tell that he loves his subject and if one has followed him on Twitter for any period of time, he has no problem doing research. Please welcome to the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame – Phil (last name withheld to protect the innocent, the innocent what, we’re not sure of).Name: Phil Twitter Name: @Filrd Blog or…
