My Cousin and I won, 1st place and crowd favorite! Our IIPA will be put on tap by Thunder Canyon.

I'm currently in IT, but want to become an assistant brewer. You guys have any tips, warnings, anecdotes for me? For those of you in the industry, how did you get your foot in the door? Thanks!

About to bottle my scottish ale and it smells like rotten shrimp. I've attached a picture of what it looks like in the primary. Infection? Advice? Thanks!

Ah, right right, forgot about that, was going to exclude them and imports from the convo, but forgot that as well.

Are the Vienna Lagers you're talking about imports? If not, which craft breweries are doing Vienna Lagers? What brought this up was an article I read about a local brewpub that has maybe 10 of their beers on tap (no outside sales, more of a sports bar kinda place, connected to a mall) and the...

Was wondering, what do you think is the most popular craft brew style? I was thinking IPAs, but that may just be what I buy the most.

Edited: Way too slow.

All great questions!

A bit too far, but thanks! So, did you put the ones you kept to good use?

Thanks AZ and Jal! What do you mean by that?
