Homebrew Star Jamil Zainasheff To Open Commercial Brewery

November 6, 2010 By Jay Brooks

heretic
Jamil Zainasheff over the last ten years has become something of a rock star in the homebrewing community, and especially the Bay Area, co-authoring two books on beer and homebrewing: “Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew” (with John Palmer) and “Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation” (with Chris White). He also hosts the Jamil Show on The Brewing Network and has a website online entitled Mr. Malty. I had always heard that Jamil had no plans to turn pro, but that appears to be not the case, after all. [And a tip of the hat back to BeerNews.org].

This Thursday on an episode of Brewing TV, Zainasheff announced that he was starting a 30-bbl brewery in the East Bay. The brewery will be called Heretic Brewing, but the website is just a place holder for now.

Jamil says he’s hoping that his first beers will be available beginning in February or March of next year. Initially, the beer will be available in kegs only, and will then make either 750 ml or 22 oz. bottles once they’re up and running.

    Hmmm… the Devil is an orthodoxy, not a heresy. He needs a symbol of a bunch of first century gnostics sitting around writing those extra gospels.

    Big thumbs up to Jamil, his brewing info is allways spot on and from the couple of times I’ve met him he’s a hell of a nice guy. Should be some inspirational beers here.

    Hope this dosent give him an excuse to stop doing Brew Strong and the Jamil Show/Can you brew it? on the Brewing Network

    I’ve never met Jamil but I’m a devoted Brewing Network listener… Big congrats to J.Z.

    I hope that the beer is available nationally, because a small local brewery from Mr. Ninkasi himself, with thousands upon thousands of fans and followers world wide, is not going to cut it!

    East coast need some Mr. Malty Beers!
