What is the one thing you'd like to tell visitors to the Guild's website?

Based in Toronto, I specialize mainly in beer historical writing, with Britain frequently a focus. I cover spirits, food, and travel as well. I publish frequently at my blog, www.beeretseq.com, founded in 2015. I also write for journals and other publications. I also appear regularly at beer-related and other conferences, and judge at competitions.

What you can offer as a writer/beer lover?

Expertise and commitment, unique blend of specialist knowledge, also humour.

What do you like most about being a Guild of Beer Writers member?

The chance to interact with others, share ideas, etc.
