The Journeyman Brewer Academy was founded in 2015 to fill a fast-growing need for breweries to locate and staff highly educated talent at the front line of brewing operations. To quote the founder, Peter Boettcher, “The “Brewer” is the backbone of any brewery, small or large, and skilled, educated brewers with the talent and knowledge needed to correctly perform the craft can be extremely difficult to find.” Master Brewer, founder, and instructor, Peter Boettcher, holds […]
Nation’s First Black Beer Festival, Barrel & Flow Fest, is Sept. 10th Day Bracey has a goal for September – “to empower the Black community through the beer industry.” The Pittsburgh comedian and beer writer gained national recognition in 2018, when he and his “Drinking Partners Podcast” co-host Ed Bailey launched Fresh Fest, the country’s first festival focused on Black-owned and operated breweries. Retitled ‘Barrel & Flow Fest’ for 2021, this year’s event will take […]

Maybe it’s just me, but the thought of writing cheery pieces on beer history that are mostly just excuses to make terrible puns hasn’t been all too appealing during a time when so many of our local breweries are struggling. It seems like it’s almost a daily occurrence that TABC throws […]

Is there anything more delightfully refreshing than a fresh, chilled cocktail in the summertime? Actually, there is! Beer cocktails are a delicious way to beat the heat – not to mention dazzle guests at BBQs, garden parties, and any other warm-weather gatherings. Of course, it all depends on having the right kind of beer and ingredients. Fortunately, the beer experts at Tavour have already done the legwork to come up with four revitalizing summer beer cocktails. […]
By Feature Writer Gin Benavidez A while back, I was asked if I could write on the topic of beer and diversity. I of course agreed, as I’d done some research on the topic and knew that it was something I needed to delve into more deeply. To start to prepare, I purchased the book Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It by Nathaniel G. Chapman […]

When quarantine restrictions first swept the nation, many predicted dire consequences for the craft beer industry. A survey conducted by the Brewers Association in April of 2020 found that 45% of small breweries felt threatened with closure within 3 months! Thankfully, things weren’t nearly that bad. Another Brewers Association report from November of 2020 found no spike in closures compared to 2019 and saw just a 7% to 8% decrease in overall revenue for independent […]

Five years from now, “the bras-to-beards ratio on the brew deck will look more like 50/50.” This is the vision that Sara Nelson – co-founder of Seattle’s esteemed Fremont Brewing – has for women in the craft beer industry. No doubt, it’s likely a world away from where women could see themselves in 1987, when the U.S. government first designated March as Women’s History Month. Every year since then, we’ve dedicated the 31 days of […]
