A Visit To Bhramari Brewing Company
I recently had the opportunity to stop in at Bhramari Brewing Company during a recent visit to Asheville, North Carolina while my daughter worked at a wedding in town. I would have to say that I quite enjoyed myself. Saturday afternoon, taproom not too busy (but I could see it becoming very busy later in the day). The building itself it quite large and broken into different seating sections. Plenty of seating is available around the taps as well as there being a quite large patio and another section the encompasses another corner of the bulding. The brewery’s beer selection was quite extensive and there were also other alcoholic options (mixed drinks)…

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).

Interview with a Brewmaster – Maryland Malt Master
A part of the “Featured Brewery” activities this month on CellarMonk, we are lucky enough to interview the head brewer for the DuClaw Brewing Company. Since we are covering almost every aspect of DuClaw, it was time for their head brewer, Jim Wagner, to sit down in the comfy computer chair of fame and answer some of the most important questions ever asked of a brewer. Not really, but they are good questions. So sit back, grab a HellRazer IPA (available locally in Maryland, sorry) and read on.

Interview with the Industry – Belgian Bio Brewer
Like most breweries, Brasserie de Brunehaut has their stable of standard beers (by Belgian standards). These include a blonde, a dark and a tripel all brewed under the Abbeye St. Martin banner.

The brewery grows its own barley and wheat and in a nod to the green movement, packages some of their wares in recyclable kegs.
