I'm the head brewer for Walking Man Brewing and I encourage anyone who's interested in trying their hand at the art of homebrewing. I've been a professional brewer for over eight years: two years at Portland Brewing/Pyramid and six years at Hale's Ales. I was thinking of starting a group here for homebrewers, brewers, and aspiring brewers for support and maybe gaming together. Not sure if there are enough of us around to warrant a group though...we would also need a cool name....
