About the Author

After completing his Diplom-Braumeister degree from the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan in 1990, Eric Warner launched his brewing career when in 1993 he cofounded Tabernash Brewing Company in Denver, Colorado—one of the best and most authentic producers of German-style beers. In 1997 he moved on to new challenges and accepted the position of vice president of operations at Denver’s Broadway Brewing Company.

Warner is author of the Classic Beer Style Series book, German Wheat Beer, and has also written numerous articles on brewing and brewery operations. He lives in the Denver area with his wife, Kristin, and their sons, Aidan and Ian. In his spare time, Warner enjoys fly-fishing, hiking, hunting, and skiing. For those of you who read the author biography for German Wheat Beer, tennis has been supplanted by the more sedentary country club game of golf; homebrewing has given way to commercial brewing (although it would be great to actually really brew beer again); and yes, the faithful canine companion, Supai, is alive and well at age 12.
