BREWERY SNAPSHOT

James Booth is the brewer for Black Dog and also the winemaker for Taminick Cellars.  He is the fourth generation of Booth winemakers that have owned and operated Taminick Cellars since 1904. His interest in beer developed at 18 when he started brewing with beer kits.  It didn’t take long before he began experimenting with recipes before moving on to using all raw ingredients of malted barley and hops.
