1. Favorite VBC beer - I heart all of our Pilsners (Prima, Harvest or Braumeister!) or a Storm King, yummy dark hoppy love.
2. First (or favorite) beer memory – My first day at an internship at Ernest August Brauhaus in Hannover, Germany. I unfortunately don’t speak the German language. However, I quickly realized that there is no language barrier amongst brewers…especially when they offer you a pilsner at seven in the morning! We were taste testing for the customers that would be drinking the beer that same afternoon; ah it’s a tough life being a brewer!
3. Ideal food/beer pairing: Any kind of cheese & saison; prime rib & porter; scallops & triple; chicken pesto salad & pilsner – so many choices, too little time to experience them all! Clearly, I didn’t include all of the choices.
4. Ultimate way to enjoy a VBC: Sitting on the porch gathered around family and/or friends – chatting about the nuances of life…or something of the sort.
5. Life outside of VBC: Cooking with my husband, expanding my brewing knowledge, skiing, dosing our cats with catnip and making them chase a laser beam (serious entertainment), traveling (anywhere), exploring the outdoors.
