Hater of Cascades Hops. Good beer and good company are gifts from God -- it isn’t an addiction, it’s a pursuit. The photo is of my black sheep great granduncle, Dr. Joe Smart, c. 1900, whom I resembled more in my youth.
I travel a good bit on business, which is great for the hobby.
Fave styles are bitters, browns and altbiers, milds and schwarz.
Buddies with PorterPounder. Have been known to drink with The Smartest Man in the World at the Flying Saucer from time to time.
