Buffalo Mike hosts a hybrid music/talk radio show featuring most genres of music that ended up on the “B” sides of albums and 45s, but could have easily been “A” side material, discusses the art & science of home and commercial brewing with local brewers, and investigates local Asheville events. The second hour of his show features strictly blues music and interviews.

On Tuesday, August 20th, on his show B Sides & Brews, Buffalo Mike interviewed Tim Weber, the owner and head brewer of Twin Leaf Brewery. Tim was happy to share his background and introduction to brewing as well as his more recent endeavors. He has been a professional brewer for 10 years and was a homebrewer for about 8 before that. Twin Leaf opened in March 2014 after Tim moved to Asheville in 2012.
Tim’s beer journey began in college. He majored in engineering but found himself enrolled in a microbiology lab course. The professor talked about working in a yeast lab, and Tim’s curiosity was piqued. He found a summer job at Iron Hill Brewery in Delaware, and by 2006 he was hooked. He bought his own brewing equipment and made brewing his life. He only brewed on weekends, but Tim didn’t own a TV, so all his spare time was spent reading and learning about his craft. He started, as most people do, on the stove, and over the years used his engineering background to build more and more technologies. Eventually, Tim had himself a homebrew robot that did most of his process for him!
Tim’s very first brew was a Hefeweizen. He said he “did almost everything wrong, but I loved it anyway.” His favorite beer style is a German pilsner. He is a beekeeper on the side and says of his hobbies—beer and bees—“the more you learn about them, the more you realize you don’t know what you’re doing.”
