Porters & Stouts 101 w/world certified, Master Beer Judge, Ron
Smith
World Class beer traveler, certified cicerone, Master BJCP Judge,
and beer and brewing educator, Ron Smith joined the boys at the
round table at Alley’s Alehouse for tonight’s episode of Blind Pig
Confessions.
We may have told more humorous stories than talk strictly beer
on this one, but Ron is full of great stories from his many beer
infused travels and the numerous classes he instructs.
Finding a love for all beer and diving into homebrewing back in the
‘87, Ron has won numerous awards on the state level as well as a
Gold Medal in the AHA’s National Homebrew Competition, the largest
homebrewing competition in the world.
Lots of great conversations and many brews slayed on this episode
as we got into, not just those glorious dark brews, but butter
beers, Budweiser’s guerilla tactics, and why Quaff On’s Common
Necessity reminds Cowboy of Xmas.
Tune in to learn more about Mr. Ron Smith and how you can attend
classes and work toward getting your MBA(Master of Beer
Appreciation). Many of Indy’s great brewers will tell
you they got their start learning all they could from Mr.
Smith.
Cheers!
