The man behind the brewing curtain

So who is behind the beer curtain anyway?

With the baseball season here, you can only sit back and think about the upcoming season. Sure, Matt Holliday got traded. Yes, the Rockies didn’t have a great season in 2008. But, there are so many great things to look forward to when you head to a game at Coors Field. Such as, well, the beer. You would hope a ballpark named after a prominent beer company would serve some great brewhahs.

That is where the man behind it all, John Legnard, comes into play. John, who? Sure you may not know the name, but you know what Blue Moon wheat beer is. Sitting snug in right field, is The Blue Moon Brewing Company at the Sandlot. Right field is where all the love making takes place….the making of beer that people love that is. John Legnard is the brewmaster of Blue Moon.

Ah, now it is all coming together.

We decided that since we’ve been acquainted with Blue Moon over the years, it is time to get to know Blue Moon’s beer daddy, the man behind the curtain, or well, behind the fermenters.

John Legnard has quite the sense of humor as he spills the beer on all things Blue Moon and the 2009 Rockies season.–Erica Boniface, Metromix
