Brewing TV - Episode 61: BTV Birthday Bash

Brewing TV turns two years old in proper style - brewing a beer! Jake, Mike, Chip and the brew dogs gather to make Keeler's Reverse Burster Altbier. During the brew session, we look back on two years of BTV production. We also field some FAQs from our fans. There's even a contest and a birthday present for our viewers. Wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it, we're having a birthday party! [Original postdate: May 4, 2012]
