Beer School is dedicated to teaching about beer. There are thousands of different beers around the world with thousands of people dedicated to crafting them. We want to help you the reader and the listener learn more about the beer you already love and hopefully we’ll help you find another beer that you’ll love just as much. Or maybe more.
Our team of beer drinkers have traveled the far (if you count Portand as far) sampling the local scene wherever they go. And as everyone likes different things everyone’s opinion counts. …

We’re on this side of the bar. We don’t work in the brewery. Although we’ve brewed. We hang out with brewers. We go to beer events but we don’t judge them. 
We like beer and we live in a place that has a lot of great beer. Which means we talk about the local stuff because it’s here. 
It’s four simple ingredients: water, yeast, barley and hops.
It’s four basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, popsicle (aka savory). there is another taste and that is salt. But nobody describes tasting salt when drinking beer.

And the envelope please… RATS! The words win.
Before everyone goes reading into my “rats!”
I knew that we didn’t stand a chance against that Grammar Grrl (the grrr is an intentional rib). I could quote a bunch of specs of that show as “proof of why it won” but instead I’m going to say this instead. I’m proud that Beer School got nominated. In a category …

Motor occasionally calls in when he’s traveling to report on his surroundings. Hard to tell if he’s being sarcastic or if he really truly is having a good time. Listen for yourself and leave a comment.

The live feed may or may not have worked. I was not able to verify that it was working prior to the show. But I know that it worked days before. If you tried to tune in and it didn’t work my apologies to you. When it’s show time at some point you have to go with what you have. Working or not.

Thank you everyone for making yesterday completely fun. There is three hours of show that needs to be processed because everyone turned out in full force. I want to thank Craig and Beth (the owners of City Beer) for allowing us to use their incredible space for the afternoon.
