BEER BREWING:

Tall tales have been told for years, stories of real and fictitious people who do unbelievable and amazing things.....for example: Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed.

Here's a true tall about real people....and it's happening right in Wicomico County:

A starch source is being steeped in water and then fermented with yeast. What? This technique, called brewing, has been used to create a beverage called beer since the 6th millennium BC. The ingredients include - water, a starch such as barley, yeast, and flavouring such as hops. Brewing actually involves a multi-step process: malting, milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. Brewing takes place in a brewery by a brewer and is found in most modern western civilizations.
