Calling All Homebrewers! I am the author of “_Beer for Dummies_” and “_Homebrewing for Dummies_”, and I am now working on a new communal book project. My intent is to show how fun, challenging and interesting the world of homebrew is. If you would like to contribute a story to this effort, please contact me at [marty@nachelbeereducation.com](mailto:marty@nachelbeereducation.com). ---

Marty, Something tells me that I think I met you in Alaska at the Alaskan Brewery about 20 years ago and we rode back to the center of Juneau in a taxi with you and your wife. The “Homebrewing For Dummies” book pinged my memory because as I recall you mentioned that you had written a homebrewing book when we talked in the brewery. Is that correct or am I hallucinating? ---

This is amazing, Goose -and so is your memory! Indeed, my wife and kids and I were at Alaskan Brewing Company in August of 2006. How cool is it that you remembered that?
