What do lovers of craft beer enjoy best? Most would list a tall glass of their favorite brew at the top of the list but aside from active consumption, fans of craft beer often rank brewery visits and related adventures as close seconds to an actual glass of fine brew. One organization that aims to spread the good word of beer far and wide is Breweries, Bars and Beer Food and it plans to educate and entertain craft beer fans through its televised programs and other communications.
What is This Organization About?
Breweries, Bars and Beer Food is all about brewing operations, night spots, great food, and the people behind the scenes who work tirelessly to bring the food and drink to the public. The main focus of Breweries, Bars and Beer Food is going to be a television program hosted by the organization’s founder, Houston native Chris Spradley. The filming of the first ever episode is taking place this week at Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. Deschutes is one of the largest craft breweries in the country and a great place to
introduce fans to the operations and other behind the scenes actions that take place in a craft brewery each day.
Besides the beer, Breweries, Bars and Beer Food is also about great food and the show will feature chefs and others who live and work in the nearby vicinity to each featured brewery. These chefs will share their culinary creations, offer advice on beer/food pairings, and share some of their favorite recipes with the viewer.
When will the Program debut on Television?
The goal at this time is to broadcast the program in the summer of 2013. Plans such as this are always subject to change, but the goal at the moment is to televise Breweries, Bars and Beer Food within the next several months.
