WARNING – Drew excessively nerds out with Frank Clark of Colonial Williamsburg about beer through the years and their upcoming brewing history conference – Ale Through The Ages. (note the proper title – no matter how many times we mess it up). What was beer like back in the pre-Revolution period? What can you learn online or in person at their conference? Find out!

Marty Nachel has been thinking about homebrewing for a damn sight longer than most of us weilding a mash paddle. In that time, he's seen a number of changes and has documented it in “Homebrewing for Dummies”. We're look back over homebrewing and what's changed in his brand new 3rd Edition.
