ERIE, Pa. (AP) Mercyhurst University senior Drew Spacht grew up in a beer-loving household. <\/p>\n
His grandfather owned a beer distributor in North East. His father has been a home brewer for 15 years. <\/p>\n
So, when he found out his school was growing fresh hops, he did what came natural. <\/p>\n
He found a way to make beer. <\/p>\n
Again and again. <\/p>\n
Spacht, a 21-year-old biology major, recently bottled his third batch of 'Hurst Pale Ale in the kitchen of his parents' Harborcreek home. <\/p>\n
He's expecting good results. <\/p>\n
\"I liked the second batch more than the first,\" Spacht said. \"I've tweaked the recipe a little bit each time. I'm never totally satisfied with what I do.\" <\/p>\n
He describes the beer as an \"inviting\" medium-bodied beer with a citrus aroma. <\/p>\n
The first beer brewed by the Mercyhurst student was distributed to school administrators and professors in spring 2011. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
