MSC home brew
Local beer-makers learn still art
By Richard Tijerina
STAFF WRITER
Some Texas A&M students may
consider themselves experts at
drinking beer, but a course offered
by MSC University PLUS teaches
them to be expert brewers.
And though these beer drinkers
are learning how to become beer
brewers, Barbara Collier-Foyt, the
course’s instructor, said it’s impor
tant to recognize the difference be
tween the two.
“We stress that we’re trying to
promote responsible brewing and
responsible arinking, as opposed to
just straight consumption,” Collier-
Foyt said. “We’re trying to create
new dimensions to the way students
consume beer by developing respect
for what they’re consuming.”
The course, which began March 2
and ends April 20, has been offered
by University PLUS every semester
since Spring 1988. Collier-Foyt, a
former student of the class, is teach
ing it for the first time this semester.
Wayne Helton, MSC programs
manager, said University PLUS’ goal
is to offer courses that might interest
anyone in any area, and obviously a
small amount of interest in home
brewing of beers exists.
“It hasn’t been tremendously pop
ular in that there hasn’t been a huge
demand for it, but we’ve always had
at least 10 people a semester,” Hel
ton said. “If we can organize some
thing for a small group like that,
then we will certainly do so.”
This semester’s class has six peo
ple in it, and they have been in
structed on the proper techniques
and the right equipment to use while
brewing beer at home.
Collier-Foyt said students en
rolled in her class want to learn more
about the experience of making
quality beer.
“The people that show up are *
really interested in learning about
more quality beers,” she said.
“They’re not just big beer drinkers.
They’re interested in import beers
and the whole experience of brew
ing as a sort of art form.”
Collier-Foyt credited the growing
interest among college-aged beer
consumers for the popularity of the
class.
Although she is brewing a batch
of beer at home, Collier-Foyt said
her students are waiting until the
end of the course to brew their beer.
The students will brew a batch with a
commercially available malt extract

beer-brewing class offered by University
PLUS, shows off two first-place awards she

has won for her home brew. The class was
started in Spring 1988, but this is Collier'
Foyt’s first semester as its teacher.
product, which is easy for the begin
ning brewer.
She said the total cost for the aver
age ingredients, which include hops,
barley, water, sugar and corn, is $20.
With these ingredients she said it is
possible to brew four to five gallons
of beer.
Collier-Foyt said the quality of the
beer depends on the quality of the
ingredients used and the care that’s
taken while brewing it.
“The taste just depends on how
well you make it,” she said. “Some
times you can make an extract that
will taste like vinegar and you’ll have
to throw it out. If you follow all your
instructions you’ll be fine. It’s just
like following a recipe.
“If you’re clean and careful, you
can come up with something that re
sembles any of the more interesting
import beers that you can get in
clubs.”
Bill Van Tassel, a senior market
ing major and student in the class,
said the decision to take the course
was an easy one because he’s always
liked the taste of beer.
“I’ve always wondered how it
(beer) was made,” Van Tassel said.
“I decided to learn more about it
from an expert. Barbara is great.
She’s been able to answer every ques
tion I’ve had.”
Tom Taber, a freshman geology
major who took the class last semes
ter, said learning to brew his own
beer wasn’t hard.
“It’s hands-on experience, so it
wasn’t difficult,” Taber said. “The
instructor’s showing you how to dr*
it. After you finally brew it younell,
you’ll get to know how to brew it
I’ve learned a lot about it.”
Collier-Foyt said the class has a!
ways been enjoyable and that stu
dents leave the course with some
thing more than just learning howto
brew beer — they learn something
fulfilling, which they can keep
doing.
“We’ve had a lot of fun,” she said
“The beers we made in the classbotli
semesters were successful. Every stu
dent walked away from class with a
six-pack of their own beer. The;
were able to take it home and shaie
it with their friends. Several students
reported they got their own supplies
when they went back home ana got
started themselves.”
Nederland man lives ‘government of the people’
NEDERLAND (AP) — Democracy is practiced
in Nederland almost unnoticed when the City
Council meets every second and fourth Tuesday.
Discounting reporters, only two or three people
usually attend.
But one Nederland man is always there. He al
ways sits in the same seat in the front row of
black-cushioned wooden chairs that fill the coun
cil chambers. He usually sits quietly while the
council tends to its business of keeping Neder
land a clean, well-run city.
When Mayor Homer Nagel asks for comment,
however, he’s ready.
“Mayor, have you all found a place for us to
take our garbage?” he asks.
“Why do I have to come down to city hall and
make a complaint before you all will do any
thing?
“What are you all going to do about all the
stray dogs running all over Nederland?”
His name is Robert Rothrock, and he’s on a
first-name basis with all the council members, but
they just call him Rothrock.
He said he’s been keeping watch on the city
councils of every town he’s lived in since 1954 on
a personal crusade for better government.
“Most people think to get better government
you’ve got to write to your congressman or your
state representative,” Rothrock said. “But I think
you’ve got to start right where you are. If each
citizen would just help keep his own town clean,
then it would spread up from the local to the
state to the federal, and we’d have good govern
ment at every level.”
Since moving to Nederland in 1957, Rothrock
said he’s attended every City Council meeting he
could make when the meeting didn’t confict with
his job. Since retiring from the Mobil Oil refinery
TH
If each citizen would just help
keep his own town clean, then it
would spread up from the local to
the state to the federal, and we’d
have good government at every
level.”
— Robert Rothrock
in 1985, he’s now able to go to almost every coun
cil meeting.
Rothrock, 63, said he thinks most people reall;
believe that you can’t fight city hall and as a result
feel helpless and unable to influence theii coun
cil members.
He said he learned otherwise during a water
shortage in Haltom City in 1954.
“The City Council voted to ration water and it
got so bad that you were allowed to flush you toi
let only once a day,” he said. “But enough of us
citizens showed up at city hall to force them to
start delivering water to us by having a fire truck
come to every nouse to deliver a gallon of water.
“I found out that you really could do some
thing and from then on I decided to start going
to city council meetings,” he said.
He kept up the practice when he moved to
Beaumont in 1955 and eventually every Beau
mont City Council member got to know him well
he said. Rothrock said he keeps up with what is
happening by simply paying attention to what
goes on around him.
“If I see a city crew out working somewhere,!
stop and ask them what they’re doing,” he said.
“And I’m liable to pop in city hall anytime witha
question or two.”
