Famous Homebrewers
« on: June 23, 2012, 04:52:07 PM »
So who are some celebrities who homebrew?

I only know of Wil Wheaton https://twitter.com/#!/wilw (from STNG)

Also, someone at the White House is brewing but I doubt it's actually the president mashing in.

Alton Brown brewed an extract batch on Good Eats.  Don't know if that counts.

I know at one point the model Kathy Ireland homebrewed.  I think there is even a picture of her with Papazian.

She's the cover girl on an early 1990's Zymurgy.

Unless he's kept brewing and has done more than one batch for TV, I don't think I could call him a homebrewer.  I'd call him a personality who demonstrated how to brew beer on  TV.

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drank, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.

Alright, I withdraw the post punk reference. But only because I can see how you are slightly more influenced by Mr bungle and cream then the sex pistols and the new york dolls.

I assume by fame the OP really meant celebrity.

He's not really a celebrity, but the Chancellor of North Carolina State University is/was a homebrewer. See hobbies under the family tab.

There are a couple of major league pitchers who are homebrewers.  One is even opening a micro.  Only problem is, I can't remember any of their names or even who they play for now.  I guess you could google it...
