On August 7, 21st Amendment Brewery & Restaurant launched their Brewer Outreach Program, where co-owner/brewer Shaun O’Sullivan invites brewers to the 21st Amendment and have them brew whatever beer they like. The first guest brewer was Mitch Steele, brewmaster at Stone Brewing, who brewed his Imperial English IPA with Shaun and Jesse Houck.

Mitch and Shaun getting the lay of the land.

After the mash-in, the wort was transferred for the boil.
