Tess and Mark Szamatulski, of Maltose Express in Monroe, started selling home brewing supplies by mail in 1991. Since then their business has grown and they are the authors of two of the best-selling beer recipe books, Clone Brews, Second Edition and Beer Captured.  Mark and Tess have been filmed for the Discovery Channel's series "How Things Work" and have been featured on Channel 8 CT Style and Time.com.  Their beers have garnered many awards in home brew competitions. They will also be opening a micro-brewery in Monroe this year.
