Beer Me

About

A lot of people do not know this, but one may become an "expert" in beer. Just as sommelier is to wine, CICERONE is to beer. Any time I like something, I need to do learn all about it. And I love beer. So, it goes without saying that I would like to become a Cicerone.

One of the things that is appealing about the title, is that the definition is a GUIDE. Sure, one may taste enough different types of hops, malt, and yeast to have an expert education, but we're not looking to snob anyone else with knowledge. The goal is to guide others; to help others have that lightbulb go off, as they experience all that beer has to offer.

With that said, I'd love for you to join me, in becoming a Cicerone. Whether you're just looking to learn some basic beer facts, maybe you're just as passionate as me, or maybe you are already a Cicerone and want to offer some insight. Follow me as I follow the syllabus and learn as much as I can about beer. I'll be visiting breweries local to my midwest residence (Chicago), and will also hit the road via one of my jobs (public speaker for the auto show circuit). So, in addition to beer knowledge, follow me to see different breweries and ale houses around the US (and maybe world... later on).

If you are are brewer or brewery that would be so nice to invite me to visit, my answer is "yes, please, and thank you!" Tell me about your best beer and maybe I can "use" you to learn about its corresponding style for the Cicerone syllabus.

Ads... maybe...

If you have a beer product or service that would like endorsement, I cannot be easily bought. Anything I promote, whether I am paid or not, must be something that I truly stand behind and believe to be beneficial. I am in this realm to teach, not to trick people with bullshit. If you think you have a good thing, I am open to learning about it and perhaps we can make a relationship.
