Like everything, by the time your done, you know how.
I'm taking a personal tour of the local micro next week (when it's a good day for the 'meister-guy is really cool-young, laid back), and I wondered if anybody could tell me some things to look for, ask about, or make sure I find out about. I know that I'll be kicking myself for not asking this or looking into that, AFTER about a week...but can you fellers give a 'find out this, check out that' primer on brewery touring...?
I know I want to learn what they do to make the IPA (hop schedule), it ROCKS!, and I love the Imperial Russian Stout. They have been doing a lot of bourbon barrel aging-just tried a wowzer bourbon barrel aged double IPA-OMG! They have their house normal/regular brews, but play a lot with whatever the BM feels like he wants to do-lotta latitude.
Where should I linger and ask ...WHAT....exactly.... ?
