Connected as Michael Reinhardt (265 friends)

Nate and Mike met at Bible College in 2000. It was during this time that they brewed their first beer together, a Double Chocolate stout. Collectively they have brewed hundreds of gallons of fine beer. They have coauthored a website that deals with all things beer for nearly 3 years.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to Brent Gudgel for donating the video, to Ishmael Penafiel who donated with our terrific graphic, and to Josh Meyers whose donated music made the video complete.
