It comes as no surprise that author M.R. Reese knows how to brew it best as noted in his Storey book, Better Beer & How to Brew It. He comes from a family that has been brewing since before the Prohibition days, and he has acquired many savory secrets that have been passed down through his family over the years, through conducting extensive homebrewing research, and through experimenting with his own recipes. In 1970, M.R. founded and operated the first store in the Washington D.C. area that carried supplies for home winemakers and brewers. He sold the business in 1978. M.R. lives with his wife, Dottie, and has three daughters and five grandchildren.
