From the Business
Christopher McGreger began as enthusiastic homebrewer in the late 80s and went on to work in several breweries in the burgeoning US craft brewing industry. In 1997, he and his wife moved to Bavaria in Germany where they were both able to gain valuable experience in the Bavarian brewing industry. They each attended the Technische Universität München-Weihenstephan, receiving degrees as Diplom Braumeister and subsequently in Brewing Science and Beverage Technology (MSc).
They work as consultants, authors, translators (from German) for the international brewing industry. Their book, The Beer Brewing Guide: The EBC Quality Handbook for Small Breweries, was written in partnership with the European Brewing Congress and grew out of the knowledge they have accumulated in their studies and through their experience in the brewing and beverage industry. As avid book worms with an unquenchable wanderlust, they are often in pursuit of exceptional, traditional and unusual beers and brewing
techniques. Their articles regularly appear in the English edition of Brauwelt.
Christopher also teaches International Beer Styles and Brewing Methods and Technical English for Brewers and Maltsters in Germany and The Natural and Cultural History of Brewing in the US.
