About Me

About Me

Person holding two large beer steins at Oktoberfest inside a hall with a checkered table.

Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, I spend virtually all of my free time exploring the Twin Cities; Taproom by taproom, and beer by beer. I am an avid beer writer, internet goof, and mediocre homebrewer. I am always looking to learn more about beer from anyone who can offer it. If you are in the Twin Cities, you will likely run into me getting a beer at one of my favorite breweries, like Barrel Theory and Fair State, catching a show at one of our historic music venues such as Turf Club or First Avenue, or tossing darts at a dive bar.

MY

SPOTLIGHT

Beer can labeled 'Big Doinks' with green, leafy design and sunburst background.

“This beer is everything a good West Coast IPA should be. A moderately bitter IPA, jam packed with Columbus Cryo, which gives it a sticky, icky, stanky dankness that is truly only matched by real wacky tobaccy. Backed by a light malt bill, it stays crisp and dry all the way through, and balanced to perfection. I could drink this beer 8 ways to Sunday.”
