Q&A with Andy Steerbergen, Brewer at White Flame Brewing Company
Written by Ben Darcie
White Flame opened early this year. What's the biggest risk you've taken as a brewer there?
Making brewing my career; getting out there and doing it.
You've been open long enough to experience the different beer seasons. Which one is your favorite?
Fall. It just puts me in the mood (for beer). I love a good Michigan fall.
What is your favorite of the four beer ingredients to work with?
Hops, hands down. I love the aroma, and I love the flavor.
What do you do on your days off?
I love to take my kids to the park. I really love shooting guns, going to shows.
Do you listen to music while you brew?
Yeah, definitely I do; it's a must. Right now, I'm all about The Black Keys.
What's your favorite meal after a long day...
