    I was the U.S.A.I.D. volunteer to Turkmenistan for Brewing. I helped a local brewer in Ashgabat, TZ get a nice Micro-Brewery, up and running and kegging beer. We actually smuggled California Common yeast into the country, thanks forever to those involved in that! The beer was rolled out in Ashgabat in the spring of 2006, and in that summer won a Best of Show for the Turkish Beer Festival.
