I haven’t mentioned The Homebrew Academy in a while and we have a bunch of new BillyBrew readers so I thought it was a good time to tell everyone what’s been going on with this project. The Academy is something I launched late last year as an online training program that teaches people how to homebrew.

Craft beer is about the experience. The occasional beer alone in front of the TV is fine, but it’s much more fun to combine your drinking experience with a fun outing.
Now, maybe you’d like to drink craft beer outside the house more often, but the venues you visit only serve BMC beer. I know how you feel…

TV is big letdown these days. The abundance of reality shows has killed quality programming, with a few exceptions and of course HBO.

Quick announcement post here.
Many of you know that I run an online training course for homebrewers called The Homebrew Academy. Call it ambition or lunacy, but since I’m never satisfied without a new project in the pipeline I started a collaborative homebrewing blog over there. You can read the first post right here.

I look forward to the day when we can get rid of the “craft” and just call it all beer.
I say this in the wake of the Brewers Association announcement that they are raising the cap on what qualifies as a craft brewery, from 2 million barrels per year to 6 million.

Billy Broas is a craft beer lover, homebrewer, and the founder of
The Homebrew Academy. He lives in Denver, Colorado where he splits his time between imbibing and snowboarding, but often combines the two. Billy's beer philosophy is that we should all be beer geeks but not beer snobs. He'll try any beer once and is currently studying for his BJCP beer judge exam.
You can follow him on Twitter right here.
