This is the closest beer has gotten to that expensive piece of equipment. It was scary!

• Who is Don Harms?
• How to pour a weisse beer (how does that now make you want a weisse beer?).

• Style profile: Saison.
• What is SMaSH brewing?
• Hop profile: Citra.
• Covered Bridge Brewing Company wins Gold at the Canadian Brewing Awards!
