Started in 2019, Livebrew.TV launched a series of live streamed homebrewing shows. Originally featuring a Seattle-Area instructor and a variety of professional brewers. The series ran for 6 episodes (5 plus a couple of additional events) and had initial sponsorship from Yakima Valley Hops, Skagit Valley Malting, Imperial Yeast, and Micro Homebrew. Through these sponsorships, we were able to provide high-quality and engaging content to a small, yet growing audience.
The series was hosted by Jesse Young, a homebrewing instructor (teaching as Abrosis School of Brewing) and professional brewer at Flying Bike Coop Brewery in Seattle Washington.
The show was discontinued due to Covid in early 2020, but the lessons we learned around building an audience and show, funded by local sponsors and promoting the industry, was priceless. The website was live until mid-2023, but the archives will stay on our Hopstories youtube channel.
