Quick lunch break repost

I'm taking a lunch/ coffee (it's awesome how cheap brewed coffee is compared to chichi mochachinno coffee flavored drinks) break in between class and practicing and found this article in my regular blog readings. It's about progress at the FX Matt brewery, otherwise known as Saranac. Reminds me of the random nights spent down on the cheapo Commons bars drinking Black Forest. And even older memories of helping my dad and Tim Mount bottle the wine in our basement (the beer was theirs never mine). Actually those experiences are really my first encounter w/ craft beer. I wasn't ever exposed to BMC stuff as a kid because my parents never drank them. I can't say if that has affected my current drinking much but it might have.

new IBC head brewer

Just a quick repost for interested Itowners- Ithaca Beer has a new brewer joining the chief-
