Listen to NewsWorks Tonight Host Dave Heller's interview with local brewer, beer writer, and homebrew shop owner George Hummel.

Philly was ranked first for best pub crawl city and third for best U.S. beer brewing city in the country by the website AMOG.com. Philly has become a popular craft beer town and while it's still a niche market, it's an affordable luxury.

Host Dave Heller speaks with George Hummel, owner of Home Sweet Homebrew, writer and beer aficionado. Hummel explains how traditional ingredients and techniques result in high quality, small batch beer and talks about how bars curate a good selection of beer.
