Sloth, all day everyday.

Benajmin – Beer Guide
Tell us about yourself!
I love adventure just as much as I love hiding in my home for days. I don’t know what that means. I think I would’ve had a great time living in the Kowloon Walled City.
Favorite beer(s)?
Biere Gris by Little Beast, Four Play by Upright, and Expat by Baerlic.
What do you love most about your city’s beer scene?
Variety! Whatever I’m in the mood for, I can find. Never heard of it? I can also find that. And it’ll all be fantastic. Also, fresh hops! Fresh hop season is my favorite time of year.
Why do you love being a Beer Guide?
Meeting new people from all different places and backgrounds is a privilege, but talking to them about the stuff I’m passionate about is what makes it truly great. From the “homebrewing longer than you’ve been alive” crowd to the “I don’t actually like beer I’m just doing this for my husband” groups, I love finding something in common with everyone.
What do you wish your city was more well-known for?
Spiders. They don’t warn you just how many spiders you will encounter if you live here. The spiders are my friends. They would never harm me. I love them. Yes, there is a spider in the room right now.
If you could have a drink with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Reid Blackburn and Robert Landsburg, who died photographing the eruption of Mount St. Helens. I guess I’d just want to know what was going through their minds as that day played out.
What’s an interesting fact about you?
I used to play football and be a cheerleader, two things no one ever believes just by looking at me.
Anything else you’d like to share?
If you say you don’t like beer, you just haven’t tried enough yet!

Barn owl.

My brother, there’s never a bad reason to grab a cold one with the ol’ bro.
