A friend of mine, who happens to consult for a large and well known local brewery in MA, is what one would call a Beer Scientist. Not only can he tell by taste all the ingredients in the beer, but he can pinpoint how many measurements of certain ingredients are needed to improve a beer's quality. His basement is like a laboratory for beer, with concoctions and experiments just waiting to be unleashed into the world.
I inquired of him one day, 'What got you into beer?' His response? "I lived in Vermont for most of my life. And up there, there's really not much to do other than farm or make beer. I'm not much of a farmer." So begins our story.
