I just read your article on craft beer restaurants and bars in the Toledo area (“Beer Guide,” September 10, 2014). I have been to most of the places, and attest they do have very nice beers on tap.
I have been homebrewing for over 20 years. I belong to the most active homebrew club in the area, Glass City Mashers. My favorite style to brew is American IPA. The strangest ingredients that I have brewed with are chipotle peppers, Craisins and muscat, but not in the same batch. The best advice I have for homebrewers is to keep things clean and to join a local homebrew club.
GCM meets the second Thursday of the month at The Attic at 7pm. We will be hosting a Learn to Homebrew Day at Titgemeiers on Saturday, November 1, beginning at 9am. Stop out if you would like to learn to homebrew, or if you’ve been brewing for decades. Look for the GCM group on Facebook.
Relax and enjoy a homebrew.
