Profile

Favorite beer styles:: I like most of them, just some better than others. I have been on a wild beer kick lately, however. Traditional lambic, gueuze, Flanders red, oud brune and even Berliner Weisse (for sake of throwing in something non-Belgian). How about styles I tend to like the least? Amber ales, American Pale Ales and bocks (with notable exceptions, of course).

Favorite Craft breweries:: Why did I ask this question? Too many to list, but these come to mind: Dogfish Head in Milton, Delaware, Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY, Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI, Russian River in CA, Schlafly (the St. Louis Brewery, Inc.) in St. Louis, MO. ... there are many more, but I'll spare you the details here. I'm bound to talk about them on here eventually.

Who am I?:: I have been a devoted fan of craft beer for well over 12 years now. I enjoy sampling better beers from all over the world. I drink them, cellar them, and even try to brew them occasionally. I also very much enjoy writing about them on my blog - beerphilosopher.com. I am also the "founder" of our little (not so) secret society here. Long live the Aleuminati! Please drop me a line if you have questions, concerns or suggestions anytime!

To Your Health!

Just posted a piece on beer and health on beerphilosopher.com - actually it's a link to two articles I found very interesting from mainstream publications. One is from NewsMax.com; the other is from Forbes.com. Go to my article here and you'll find the links to the other two. Cheers!

Beer Newbies ... or Brewbies!

Though the majority of our Aleuminati brethren are erudite beer scholars obviously, there may be a few among us who are relatively new to better beer and could use a crash coarse in serious beer geekdom. If you are such an individual, please allow me to direct you to a couple of resources I posted months ago on other sites: This is an article I posted on… Continue

The Aleuminati Beer Council

So here's an idea I"ve been mulling around for a while. Let me know if you guys think it would be a fun idea, and more specifically if you'd be interested in participating. By the same token, let me know if you think it is lame and to keep my ideas to myself from now on ...! What if we did an official Aleuminati Beer Council ( the ABC, of course ... ), convening virtually either once a quarter or once a month right here on the Aleuminati to collectively review and discuss a partic… Continue
