It was a big win for Muck, who suffers from a rare auto-immune disease called inclusion body myositis. After he won, he also got a chance to have his recipe mass-brewed for the Who’s Your Daddy? brewfest. You can also try his beer, called Muck*U, on tap at the Old Ivy Taproom, 108 West Evergreen Blvd., Vancouver, 360-696-0012..
