A Homebrewer Wins Big on Jeopardy!

John Weikert is well known in homebrewing circles. As a writer, a judge, and as a brewer, he has garnered accolades across the country, and is beloved in his homestate of Pennsylvania. Last year he achieved a long-time dream of becoming a contestant on Jeopardy!, the popular television gameshow, beamed into millions of home each weeknight. Not only was he a contestant, but he won six out of the seven games he played, earning him a spot in the tournament of champions, the annual event on the show where big winners are invited back to compete against each other.
