Nick Kelischek is perhaps Brasstown, NC's premier beerlanthropist*. He loves to share his product with family, friends, and fellow Folk School dancers. "You mean I'm actually going to get paid to talk about making beer?" asked Nick quizzically when approached about teaching. His first class was a big success, and he looks forward to sharing his knowledge with future students, far and wide. (*Beerlanthropist - noun def: an individual who is concerned for the welfare and advancement of beer. A beerlanthropist professes about beer 24/7.)
