PORTLAND,
OREGON, JUNE 23, 2017 — 33 Books Co., creators of the original pocket
beer-tasting journal, have returned to the sudsy subject with a brand
new notebook. Unlike the company’s other books, the newest isn’t for
chronicling consumption, but production. 33 Brews is a compact homebrewing logbook designed to bring a new level of professionality to home beer brewers.
33
Books Co. debuted the new book last week at the annual American
Homebrewers Association conference, Homebrew Con, which was held this
year in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The event brings together homebrewers
from around the globe to celebrate creativity in beer.

“As
a creative type, my fascination with beer really began with
homebrewing”, says Dave Selden, owner of 33 Books Co., and creator of
the new brew log. “Once I learned I could create beers that I couldn’t
buy, I was hooked. For me, homebrewing has always been the cultural and
creative center of the beer world. I hope my book will help creative
homebrewers out there improve and
preserve their recipes for posterity.”
The
new brew logs are slightly larger than Selden’s other books at 5 inches
wide and 7 inches tall. Like his pocket tasting journals, the brew logs
contain 33 pages, allowing homebrewers to document 33 different recipes
and keep them in a tidy package for later reference.

There are spaces on each page to document and improve the brewing
process, from buying ingredients to planning for brew day with a “Brew
Milestone” feature that Selden says might have saved his marriage.
“When
researching this book, I discovered a key
difference between home and pro brewers when I watched a professional
for the first time. Unlike homebrewers, professionals leave at the end
of the day, and they pretty much know they'll be home for supper.
Instead of winging it, as so many homebrewers do, they plan their brew
day before they fire the kettle, usually to the minute. I took that
idea, and modified it slightly for homebrewing.”
The brew logs are available now for $7 each at 33Books.com, and homebrew clubs can request volume pricing by e-mailing orders@33books.com
