Show Notes:

– How did you get interested in writing?
– How did that morph into writing about beer/spirits/food?
– How does one get from writing about Teddy Bears and “adult entertainment” to writing books about beer?
– The first book I was made aware of was Brewed Awakening, which digs into the forces behind the global craft beer revolution; that came out back in 2011. What’s changed in 5 short years?
– What’s trending on the east coast these days?
– West Coast IPA was the rage for a long time. Now we have the so called “New England IPA” spurred on by breweries like Trillium, Tree House The Alchemist and others. What are you seeing?
– What’s your next project?
– New York seems like it was a little slower to embrace the craft revolution…is there a reason for that?
– Your most recent book is all about beer styles. You structured this book in ‘classes’ to identify different flavor profiles. Why did you structure it that way?
– Was the thought to show how different beer can be, or to highlight the common thread between all beers?
– Do you have a favorite style?
– What’s changed since you wrote the book?
– What changes could be on the horizon?
– Where can people find your books?
– Where can people find you on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?
