Who Are We?
I was raised in Europe, and at 36, I’ve traveled to 50 countries. Culture interests me more than anything, and the intricacies of culture (food, drink, dance, stories and art) always are at the forefront of my thoughts. I started writing about beer when I turned 21. I lived in Oregon, and my coming of age coincided with the emergence of microbreweries in that state and in the region. I kept a journal with labels from every beer I tried. I still have that book, and I add to it periodically. I am a former print journalist and a videographer at the Missoulian-turned digital director recently. My passion for storytelling is my life, and blogging about beer is a sidetrack that allows me to creatively highlight one small but significant part of our culture. I don’t know everything about beer, in fact, I don’t even know a lot about any one beer. I love the conversation that beer evokes. I love the tastes and the memories that it creates. Most of all I love that beer is woven throughout our human story. It is the lubricant with which our relationship with planet and people is smoothed. If you love beer, and if beer represents a conversation that is salient at any point in history, join me on GrizzlyGrowler.Com.
Prost,

Born in Arizona and raised on the South Carolina coast, I attended a geographically diverse series of high schools as a teenager, starting in new England and culminating in California. After graduation, I moved to southern Idaho where I worked in the desert, lived in a van and fell head over heels in love with the West. From Idaho, I moved to Missoula where I attended The University of Montana, earning a degree in photojournalism. I now live in Hamilton, heart of the beautiful Bitterroot Valley, where I write for the local paper, snowboard ten months out of the year and drink awesome local beer. Growing up in the South, I never fancied myself a beer-lover, as I couldn’t stomach the domestic schwill available to a youngster back then. It wasn’t until I moved West that I discovered the wonderfully diverse and delicious world of beer and I have taken great pleasure in the education that has followed. I don’t consider myself an aficionado, per say, but I know a thing or two about brewing and I’ll drink anything once. Peace, Porter, and Powder Turns …
