For beer enthusiasts and wannabe beer enthusiasts on December 18, at 8 p.m. (check local schedules) Discovery Channel will feature a program about the essentials of beer making.   The one hour beer episode will run on "How Stuff Works."  Flavor, diversity, history, culture, hops, malt, water, yeast, big brew, little brew and homebrew will all be touched upon.  
     Though I haven’t seen a preview the producers spent a full morning and part of the afternoon with me this past summer.  Shooting my hop garden, homebrew “garage,” beer stash and sampling of various brews while asking me to tell the story of “how beer works.”
     Also likely featured will be Dogfish Head Brewing Company’s owner Sam Calagione and his “insightful” perspectives about “how stuff works” for the small brewer.

     If you see me, wave, relax, don’t worry and quickly reach for a brew.
