Comment êtes-vous entré dans l'industrie de la bière ? Pourquoi la bière est-elle importante pour vous ?

I am part of a very small group of professional brewers that actually never homebrewed. I began my brewing career with Molson Breweries in Montreal as a freshly graduated microbiologist. Joining the beer industry was more a necessity than a true passion for beer. That said, I quickly fell in love with the processes of beer production and the importance of sensory evaluation. Beer is now part of my life and I tremendously enjoy sharing my experience/recommendations over a well-designed beer.

Pourquoi jugez-vous à la World Beer Cup ? Que signifie pour vous le fait d'être juge à la Coupe du monde de la bière ?

The passion to share my practical experience and know-how, accumulated over the past 43+ years, makes judging the perfect path to do so. The group of judges is well-rounded and offers engaging discussions about beer profiles, all while following agreed-upon guidelines.
