All next week, craft beer enthusiasts will gather at Big Brew, a craft beer festival Oct. 20-25 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

One of the event’s many features is an online quiz where you can test your craft beer IQ, so to speak, for a chance at some prizes.

During Big Brew, Kevin Floyd will be giving his Craft Beer 101 talk, and I asked him to give me a preview.
