Some of you out there, probably mostly ladies, may actually be wondering a little more about the who, in addition to the what & where. So in an effort to cater to the masses, here goes…
I was born & raised in upstate NY; spending my summers on the Canadian border drinking the good stuff (higher octane beer) before micro-breweries became big here in the states. This also may have been due to the lower drinking age in Canada!
I can honestly say as an adolescent I couldn’t stand the taste of beer. Although the ol’ man was always willing ‘to give me a sip of his’, that was really all I wanted anyways. I was always wondering why they all tasted the same; like shit! First time I drank a full beer & first time I got snockered was actually my high school graduation. Yep, a whole new experience…that night and the next morning as well.
Some may say I was a late bloomer, but this quickly changed as I had a 2-yr tour of duty @ Coby. A little college town where drinking large quantities of cheap beer was the only thing to do (besides studying of course). The next four years found me @ ESF, studying a real major & some “real” brews!
It wasn’t till I moved to the left coast that I found Jesus micro-brews! Yep, true craftsmanship & the people to appreciate it.
So after having several successful careers (okay, 1 career & 2 jobs), I was laid off for the 1st time. I spent several weeks doing nothing…& a couple of days actually looking for the next thing. A dream career arrived @ my door (i.e. inbox). After a 2 month hiring process, I was informed that due to the past fiscal year’s financial performance they would not be bringing on additional personnel at this point.
I had 2 choices; either I could dive back into the job hunt after the wind was torn from my sails or I could travel around the country blowing my savings, drinking good beer, seeing amazing places, & meeting great people!
Thanks:
- I would like to thank my father. His love of a good beer & amazing beer can collection have inspired me to taste the diverse selection of adult beverages.
- My mother who gave me a home brew kit for my 21st & supported me in taking on this endeavor.
- My sisters, who many a nights have helped me get home…& also ensured my parents knew of my previous night’s escapades.
