Editor For Beer
Hi, I'm Jay. I've been writing about beer for nearly 20 years and been involved in the beer industry almost as long. I've been a homebrewer, enthusiast, author, beer buyer, commercial contract brewer, marketing manager, beer judge and the GM of a national beer magazine, before becoming a freelance beer writer a little over a year ago. I also write about the beer industry at my website, the Brookston Beer Bulletin. [http://www.BrookstonBeerBulletin.com/]
