Camas graduates brew up success in Taiwan

Tim Smith and Devin Nail have known each other since the late 1990s when they became tomodachi (friends) in a Camas High School Japanese class. As adults, they both got into the Portland beer scene and started homebrewing in 2004. They eventually reunited in Taiwan. Nail moved to the Asian island in 2008, followed by Smith in 2010. There, they began brewing once again, motivated by their new country’s relative lack of quality craft brews.
