A show about homebrewing, presented by Northern Brewer, Ltd. Brewing TV is about the "why" not the "how." Our mission is to cover the world of homebrewing through the magic of video. We also tell the stories of pro brewers and breweries - always from the viewpoint of homebrewers. BTV is a place for homebrewers to connect and hear about what our hobby has been, what it is, and where it is going.
