Busy day down at the Blue Ridge Brewing Company,
where I found Brewmaster Dana Dickinson and Wofford College Intern Kat
Kilpatrick wrestling kegs of Little Willie Barley Wine and prepping for a
Rainbow Trout ESB transfer. Lots of cleaning going
on... Dana tells me that a mentor brewmaster gave him some sage advice:
"Think three times more often about cleanliness than brewing. Stay
ahead of the curve."
Well, I can personally attest, all that was going on, even while being pestered by a pushy photographer [*blush*].

Some typical scenes:
 | |
| Keg wrangling --- good for muscle tone! |
 |
| He seems to be enjoying his work. |
 | |
| She does too. Of course, being able to drink on the job is probably a factor! |
 |
| Dana checking temps prior to some tank cleaning. |
 | |
| Kay and I really liked this Barely Wine; not sweet and very drinkable. |
Time for some sampling, thanks to my hosts.
Cheers!
