Brewing TV #61: BTV Birthday Bash

By on May 4, 2012in beer education, beer travels, homebrew, video

Brewing TV turns two years old in proper style – brewing a beer! Jake, Mike, Chip and the brew dogs gather to make Keeler’s Reverse Burster Altbier. During the brew session, we look back on two years of BTV production. We also field some FAQs from our fans. There’s even a contest and a birthday present for our viewers. Wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it, we’re having a birthday party!

And if you’d like to help BTV get a little more traction, check out this poll at CraftBeer.com and vote for BREWING TV!
