Breaking Bad

If you watch the AMC series, Breaking Bad, you may have noticed that Walt’s brother-in-law, Hank, is a homebrewer. It was revealed in this week’s episode, “Breakage” (season 2, episode 5).

We had received some inside information about this while interviewing brewmasters in Albuquerque last month for season 2 of Travel by the Pint. Breaking Bad is set and filmed in Albuquerque and, as luck would have it, one of our interviewees was the consultant for Hank’s “man cave” homebrewing set up and even gave the film crew a crash course in brewing at his brewpub.

More on that in our second season so — as always — stay tuned.
