Brewing Process: 101 Ways To Make Your Beer

Well, maybe not quite 101 ways but this should give you an idea of what I am thinking here. Brewing is basic right? A handful of main ingredients, add some water, convert sugars to alcohol, add hops.....that's about it, right? For those of you that are very specific and literal, don't worry I realize I oversimplified a bit. But, here's my point: Go to any brewery's website and chances are good that they have attempted to describe their brewing process. Some go into much more detail than others. Of course, at the end of the day, they are all basically doing the same thing. But, I have always found it interesting to see how breweries will attempt to differentiate themselves from each other in the way they describe their brewing process. Following are examples of just some of the breweries and their stories of making beer. Have you come across any interesting brewing illustrations or stories that breweries put on their websites? 21st Amendment Duclaw Brewing Co. Erie Brewing Co. Goose Island Beer Co.
