Who am I?
My name is Tate and I am an avid home brewer. I specialize in easy to make, but great tasting beer and mead. I also have a knack for unconventional home brewing setups. I began home brewing in 2011 and took right to it. I’ve worked in the beer industry in some capacity for most of my life.
I started homebrewing out of curiosity. Seeing all the different brands and styles at the beer distributor I worked for made me wonder how it was they were all made. It also made me wonder why it is that some beers are so popular despite their obvious inferiority in taste. Once I tasted some of the more expensive brands I thought, could I make this at a fraction of the cost?
After making beer for a while, my friend asked me if I wanted to make Mead. At the time I had very little understanding what mead was but it sounded fun. This led to making many batches of mead that I still have to this very day.
Now I’m looking to just keep trying new recipes and styles and building up my skill level as a brewer.
