    I’ve often thought that a reality show featuring the running of a small microbrewery would make for interesting television. Especially if there are partners involved and you are undercapitalized while trying to compete against every other brewery on the shelf!
    “Coming this Fall……THE BREWERY! Who will rise to the top and who will fall flat!”

    Prost!

    I just hope they do a fair job at depicting what we actually do as brewers on a daily basis. That brewing is indeed hard work, and we don’t stand around the brewery getting drunk all day. I explain to people the brewery is far too dangerous a place to work in any altered state and share a story or two of colleagues that have seriously injured themselves or others because they were not sober and made a stupid mistake.

    I don’t want to be respected or looked up to because people think I have this easy job where I get paid to be a lush or live a rock star lifestyle. I prefer that people understand what we really do, respect the hard work, the planning and foresight, the knowledge we rely on daily that can only be gained via years of experience working in breweries.

    Ok, now that I got that out. I look forward to watching these programs, on DVR of course as I am usually working during Prime Time… and heck, maybe a few (non-drinking) members of my family will watch these programs and finally gain a respect for the art of Craft Brewing.

    Cheers,
