Shreveport-Bossier's Home Brewing Scene

Who knew that Shreveport-Bossier was home to such a thriving home brewing scene? I recently sat down with the Malt Munching Mash Monsters (MMMM), a local home brew club, to discuss the homemade brews they'll be bringing to the 2011 BREW event, scheduled to take place 3:30 p.m.-7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 15 in downtown Shreveport's Festival Plaza.

Mash Monster Jeff Pieper, who is also a member of the brewing club Shady Grove Brewing, listed the four beers he'll be bringing to BREW: "a cream ale, a Bohemian pilsner, a robust porter, and a blackberry mead."

If anyone out there in internet-world is looking for a way to get started in the world of home brewing, I highly recommend contacting this friendly and knowledgeable group of beer ninjas. The best way to do so is by visiting their website at www.maltmunchingmashmonsters.com and signing up for the user's forum.
