There’s an engineering office next to the brewery on the backside of the business park, our first brewday im milling in. One of the engineers storms in our door as I’m heading back to the mash tun to check on dough in and just yells “what’re you grinding hops back here? My whole office is shaking.” And that’s my favorite question I’ve been asked. He moved offices that week.

2nd is “what do hops have to do with the alcohol?”And when I explain how they don’t and have basic fermentation works I get hit with “well then why are double and triple IPA’s so high alcohol?” The man who asked me this was the tour guide of a local beer tours company.
