Wie sind Sie in die Bierbranche gekommen? Warum ist Bier für Sie wichtig?
After several career changes in my twenties—from being a photographer for a local Los Angeles weekly covering music and politics, to working as a CNN assignment desk editor, and then as a legal clerk at a high-powered corporate law firm—I found my passion in homebrewing, with the goal of one day opening my own brewpub. Discovering my destiny and community within craft beer has been incredible, and I still can't believe I get paid to do this.
Warum richten Sie beim World Beer Cup? Was bedeutet das Richten beim World Beer Cup für Sie?
I often tell aspiring beer judges that becoming a judge at the World Beer Cup can make you a better brewer and person. The experience involves interacting with fellow international beer judges, honing the skills of listening and being open to discussion. It's a humbling experience that requires judges to set aside their egos, as we all strive toward the common goal of recognizing the best beers.
