Brewing Beers
Teri
brewed professionally 1988-2007. Her brewing career included Sieben's River North
Brewpub in Chicago; Golden Gate Brewing Company in Berkeley, California; Triple
Rock Brewing Company in Berkeley, California; and Steelhead Brewing Company's
five locations in Oregon and California.
In
2007, after 17 years with Steelhead, Teri departed on a five-month road trip across
the USA and back, visiting 70 breweries and three distilleries along the way.
During this epic adventure of beery discovery, Teri participated in 38 brews and
two distillations.
The
most amazing part of her journey was the hospitality extended by the brewers who
invited her to visit them. Many had never met Teri, yet they invited her into
their breweries and their homes, generously sharing food, beer, their families
and their personal lives.
Many
packaging breweries along the way gifted Teri with cases of bottled beer to take
with her. Due to their generous contributions (and space under her trailer's kitchen
table), Teri was able to extend the beer giving, by exposing rare beers to brewers
down the road who lived outside of those beers' normal distribution regions.
