Good deal.  I have no idea who this guy is, or the brewery.  But, it's always great to see a homebrewer turn his hobby into a paycheck.

He's actually been a pro brewer for quite some time, but in the day, he was the best homebrewer in the Southeast several years running.  He can still bring out a beer from his closet 6 or moree years old and win best of show with it.
At last year's Best Florida Beer Pro Championships his (Shipyard Emporium in Winter Park) beer took best of show.
