I’m agree in supporting small and micro breweries, but oftenly is a little hard to find out craftmade beers in local liquor stores or super makets. I think, there’s a lot of job to do in marketing and comercialization issues in order to make more accesible craftmade beers to the consumers…regards from Mexico

Funny, I was just wondering last week how to become a brewmaster and AoM didn’t have an article. This week they do. Thank you AofM. This is just one of those jobs where everyone wants to do it, but only a few have the guts to quit their day job and go after it…

However, didn’t you guys ask how much the past guests make? So how much do brewmasters get paid?

I have enjoyed a few beers with Martin. He is a great guy and he makes excellent beer. If you are ever in Vienna stop by the 1516!

As a homebrewer, I am surprised he did not talk about all the cleaning and sanitizing. Great read & thanks for more focus lately here on craft beers.

What about being an accountant? CPA? Sounds like a cool job

@Peter

Speaking of someone who used to make their own wine and did so terribly, I can say that there’s something pretty satisfying about having a glass of something you made yourself, even if it’s not as good as something you could buy. Even if you just do it once you might be surprised at how much you enjoy having your own “house” brew.

Great article! I’m a big fan of homebrewing and artisan food/beverage products but sadly I just don’t have the time to get really good at it. I’ll just continue to enjoy the fruits of labour from people like Martin instead.

Never liked beer until I busted into a Phillip’s Brewery Chocolate Porter, in Victoria B.C. Fantastic. Love the pint bottle too.

One pint of good beer is worth two dozen nasty beers.

I really want to become a brew master now! Sounds pretty sweet! I’m only 22 but I definitely fall in the quality not quantity group. And I love good craft beers. In fact I don’t really even know what those “light” beers taste like, I had one once and thought it was disgusting.

Also, that is an awesome photo.

“Brewers are not necessarily drinkers; most brewers I know would rather have one glass of a good craft beer than five of the cheap stuff.”

Agree wholeheartedly. But, then that applies to many things. Does not have to be most expensive or flashiest. But, quality is worth a little exta.
