J. Mark Rendon, MD, FACEP, attending physician, assistant clerkship director, and assistant professor of emergency medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is a bona fide brewmaster. His Cream Ale was named Best of Show out of a whopping 1,300 entries in the 2020 Bluebonnet Brew-Off, the largest single-site homebrewing competition in the country. “Brewing is both a science and an art,” Dr. Rendon said. “As a science, there is a growing, encyclopedic amount of information—ranging from enzymatic reactions, water chemistry, and microbiology—that a brewer could spend a lifetime learning. As an art, the scientifically informed homebrewer can practice creativity and originality to produce their desired outcome: a delicious beer.” He approaches his brewing education like his emergency medicine training, learning how to brew a variety of beers instead of specializing in one type. He said brewing in the garage while listening to his favorite music does wonders for his wellness.
