Brewing TV turns two years old in proper style – brewing a beer! Jake, Mike, Chip and the brew dogs gather to make Keeler’s Reverse Burster Altbier. During the brew session, we look back on two years of BTV production. We also field some FAQs from our fans. There’s even a contest and a birthday present for our viewers. Wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it, we’re having a birthday party!

And if you’d like to help BTV get a little more traction, check out this poll at CraftBeer.com and vote for BREWING TV!

John Palmer Local Appearances

“How to Brew” author John Palmer will be at Northern Brewer Minneapolis talking and helping us understand that the role of water chemistry in brewing is the key to consistently brewing great beer as opposed to good beer. Water chemistry drives mash chemistry, which drives fermentation chemistry, which drives beer pH, and beer pH drives the expression of beer flavors. Bring your copies of How To Brew and get them signed afterward. Free Admission
