Beer is a lovely experience, to enjoy and to make. Home-brewing beer is a mirror from which we may reflect our life's journey.  Its successes and failures mirror the real world, and the measure of wisdom or folly gleaned gives us fresh personal insight.  These stories explicate my 15 years brewing at home, and professional misadventures in the East Coast beer capital itself, Asheville, NC. Starlight in a Glass tells you how to make beer, avoid mistakes, yet when you make them, revel in them!

Chapters include:

Becoming the Captain of your cellar

It's a fast paced, experiential narrative.  Brewing beer has not only led me on bright world travels, to beer capitals like London, Brussels, and Wallonia, but into the heart of sour lambic beer cellars, sepulcher-like, cobwebby and mystical.  Beyond travel and enjoying craft beer, homebrewing is transformative, leading to existential journeys of the heart.  Get ready!
