Our Brewer Series offers a rare chance to spend a few hours with the world's greatest brewers in an intimate setting. 

"For Carol Stoudt, making high-quality beer is simply 'cooking with some science.'

"Stoudt, the first female brewmaster in the U.S., oversees what many beer enthusiasts would consider a beer theme park in the bucolic setting of Adamstown, Pa., about an hour from Philadelphia. 

"Though she started her career as a teacher, Stoudt and her husband, Ed, were always passionate about their German heritage and beer. After her children were grown, Stoudt took classes in brewing and "learned by doing."
