Beer- giver of confidence, facilitator of bad dancing, creator of regrettable voicemails and text messages. It’s so many things to so many people. It’s odd how rarely we think about how it got to our lips in the first place.

In this installment, home brewer Aaron Herman talks in great detail about the process of making tasty beer. From details about ingredients and temperatures to supplies and suppliers, Aaron gives us a close-up look at the exciting process of home brewing. He waxes philosophical as he explains the rewarding balance of science and creativity in his craft.

Anyone who enjoys drinking beer, brewing beer, or simply seeing a creative and passionate person completely in his element should check this one out. Cheers!

Aaron’s story combines his passion for brewing beer with a short lesson on brewing basics. Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis is where Aaron currently spends his time learning the craft and sharpening his skills but he has experience from other local brewing spots like Vine Park in Saint Paul, Midwest Supplies, and Northern Brewer.
