Twain’s Billiards and Tap has announced that local brewer David Stein will be taking up the position of Head Brewer on Dec. 5. An avid home brewer since 2005, Stein has spent the last 4 years entrenched in the local craft beer community, initially taking a job at Brick Store Pub and eventually landing at Ale Yeah! Craft Beer Market in Decatur. “I went to work at Brick Store to learn everything I could about beer,” Stein says, “to build my palate and try virtually every beer I could get my hands on.”

The young brewer has big plans for Twain’s over the coming months. “First we have to finish off what’s still in the tanks,” Stein says, “and then I plan to introduce all new and improved recipes to Twain’s current core line-up as quickly as possible.”

Beer drinkers can look forward to Stein’s fresh take on ingredients and brewing techniques. “In general, my beers will be on the progressive side, although I think that some styles need to be kept traditional.” According to the budding brewmaster, “Twain’s has a new barrel room so I plan on brewing some awesome, wood-aged and sour beers. This will include whiskey and rum barrel-aged beers, American wild ales, Belgian lambics and Flemish sours.”
