about brewvana brewvana brewvana an ideal condition of harmony beer and joy home about brewvana beer syndromes contact brewvana the gospel according to st arnold about brewvana brewvana broo va na 1 the ineffable ultimate in which one has attained disinterested wisdom and compassion 2 an ideal condition of harmony beer and joy what the heck is brewvana and is it possible to get there likely not but the aim of this blog is to explore the area just at the edge of this lovely little place where we are approaching wisdom where compassion is the rule rather than the exception where harmony and joy include handcrafted beers right alongside family time centered on the role of beer in a good life i m here to encourage a better understanding of this ancient beverage so integral to so many cultures but so often scoffed at in the us this view is changing but it s a slow process to move from beer as alcohol delivery system to beer as an artisonal craft back in the old days i drank a lot of beer i was underage and irresponsible i could have been killed so many times thankfully i lived to tell about it though i don t run around telling about it all the time war stories and whatnot but i also don t have a single regret i truly value that time that s who i was and where i was a few years later i developed an appreciation for good food watching the frugal gourmet on pbs and cooking in restaurants during college that turned to an interest in the possibility that beer was better than milwaukee s best light right around the time that craft breweries were popping up in earnest a little experimenting and i decided that once i secured my first real job after college i would begin homebrewing that s exactly what i did in 1996 i started teaching english on the navajo reservation in northern arizona we unpacked our stuff and headed for flagstaff to stock up on supplies which included my first extract kit a german altbier gene at homebrewer s outpost was a big help in those first two years later we relocated to raleigh north carolina and sick of washing bottles i began kegging as i continued to hone my brewing my stylistic knowledge my palette here i am many years later starting to know what i m talking about i m certified bjcp judge have ventured into barrel aging and sour ales and have won some awards a mighty satisfying feeling i quit my job as director of a crisis intervention program to pursue my true interests beer life s too short not to have a beer job i decided so i went to work for the duck rabbit craft brewery farmville north carolina s dark beer specialist the beers are great if i had to have a monogomous relationship with one beer it would surely be the duck rabbit porter luckily i don t have to commit to a beer like i do to my girl one girl many beers belgians wee heavies russian imperial stouts those are my favorites after a stint running a beercentric mexican esque restaurant i find myself as editor of the adams county free press a weekly newspaper in the small town of corning iowa while the primary subject herein is beer it s really about life love family building a better culture a better attitude start with your family take care of your spouse love your kids madly don t get so caught up in your job don t get so caught up in golf don t shop at strip malls or fast food joints don t make your kid do 10 000 activities don t worry if they don t win teach them to lose say no to them you ll be glad you did and so will they back in the old days we drank a lot of cheap beer but the old days are over i ve learned from mine these days it s quality not quantity with any luck i ll help cultivate a better beer culture one based on education and responsibility role modeling and appreciation how do you want to live i m
