The Aleuminati-the not so secret society of better beer drinkers

The only thing that's mysterious is why people would drink cheap, fizzy beer.

Profile Information

Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
I'm a lover of pretty much like all styles of beer but lately I've been drawn to IPA's and Stouts. I love the hop bite of IPA's and the malt/chocolate goodness in Stouts.
Who am I?:
I'm a regular guy who loves beer. I work a desk job for a living, ride my road bike for exercise and friendly competition, and BBQ a lot on my Big Green Egg whenever I can. Drinking and enjoying beer is intertwined along the way. You can follow me on Twitter at BikeBeerBBQ

I have been a lover of good beer for over 20 years. Way back in 1985 I started drinking craft/better beer while in college at Colorado State University. There was an Old Chicago in town and my buddies and I would go there once or twice a week and work our way through their "World Beer Tour".

After college I continued to enjoy beer while living in Ft. Collins through the 1990's when all the craft breweries started operating (New Belgium, Odells, etc.). It was an exciting time to be a beer lover and it's only gotten better since.

Earlier this year I finally took my love of beer onto the internet when I started the Video Beer Reviews blog. I basically pontificate, review, and rate the beers I drink in a video format. It's fun and a great way to "force" myself to keep drinking new beers. I also find that my enjoyment of beer off camera has increased because of my need to think more about the beer I drink while making the videos.

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
The unique thing about Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch Weasel is that is is made with coffee from beans that have been eaten and literally crapped out of the weasel-like Civet cat. The partially digested beans are collected, cleaned, roasted, and made…

Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
As a "hop head" how could I pass up a beer with 102 IBU's? The answer is of course, I can't. So, when I saw Lagunitas Brewing Company's Hop Stoopid in the store I was drawn to it and forced to buy it. :-) I figured a beer like this would go great wi…

I've been a better beer lover for 25 years and earlier this year I set up my little spot on the internets where I can babble on about beer. It's called Video Beer Reviews. I video the beers I drink and rate them on a scale from 0-50 points (or 1-5 m…

A group of individual(s) dedicated to bringing better beer to the South. Sure, it's an uphill battle. But we'll get there. Heck, we've got a few good breweries already! Highland, Duck-Rabbit...
