How and when did you first become interested in beer?

About 16 years ago when I started dating my husband and he was getting into home brewing. He actually brewed the beer for our wedding. The love of craft beer grew from there.

What do you think you bring to the brewing game that makes you stand out?

Joy. We’re having so much fun and we want to share that with everyone.

Top five beers you’ve sampled recently (only include ONE of yours)

1. Tower Station IPA by Mother Road
2. Knotty Pine from Lumberyard
3. Sip of Sunshine from Lawson’s Finest Liquids
4. Baere-liner Weisse from Baere Brewing
5. Tsunami Stout from Pelican Brewing
