Chef Alex Pope, Part Three: Home brewing is a family affair

About a year ago, chef Alex Pope got a call from his brother-in-law Mike, asking Pope if he was interested in brewing some beer.

“He decided he wanted to do it and asked me because he knows I’m up for anything in the kitchen,” Pope says.”Well, that and I have all the pots and pans.”

That casual phone call opened up a whole new culinary pursuit for Pope, as the duo has spent a number of weekends working their way through the entire beer spectrum. Yesterday, Pope admitted that you might catch him in the drive-through at Pancho’s enjoying a cabeza burrito. And on Wednesday, he explained how cooking was in his blood.
