From birthday beer bashes to guided tastings and brewery tours, I have a trio of curated packages available.

I don’t really talk too much about how I started out in writing in the early 2000s, finding a beat in beer after going to one too many dive bars. But the folks @duclawbrewingco gave me a chance to chat about carving a distinct path in journalis
Earlier this summer, I was chatting with the @adventuredinner team about a potentially fun beer event: Wouldn’t it be great to throw a dinner inside a malt house? Wish granted. Last weekend, I spent 42 hours in Burlington, Vermont, helping run

It’s been a heat wave week in Brooklyn, so we’ve been doing our best to cool down by the ocean with plenty of waves and cold things to drink: nutcrackers, slushies and frozen pina coladas from @connollysrbny for the win. Here’s to c
The era of HARD MTN DEW has dawned. Over the last couple years, I've watched breweries roll out sugary sodas and beers and hard seltzers inspired by the soda aisle. On the other hands, soda companies have started taking a boozy turn, creating hard ve
