Well, as we've said before, we here at DrinkCraftBeer.com like local beer. But you don't have to be small to be local. Having produced 105,000 barrels of craft beer per year, they're definitely one of the bigger breweries in Massachusetts. And, with their IPA, 100 Barrel Series and an array of other quality brews, they are definitely putting out some delicious and drinkable beers! We corresponded with Michael Smith, one of the brewers in their Boston facility, about how he got his start, what he likes about brewing, where he sees the industry going and more. Here's what he had to say:

DCB: How’d you get into brewing? Did you homebrew?
Michael Smith: My mother gave me a homebrew kit for my twenty-first birthday.  It really opened my eyes to the fact that people actually make beer—it doesn’t just come from the package store.  I read the Charlie Papazian book, then some Michael Jackson, and really became interested in all the different styles of beer and how they evolved.  I am fascinated by the convergence of history, geography, economics, science and good beer.

This beer uses wet hops... Glacier I'm going to take a flying leap and guess. I LOVE wet hop beers, so I'm looking forward to this! I'd love to have a delicious and readily accessible wet hop pale ale.
