I started this group because of one reason. I LOVE BEER! Not just a little, but it consumes my life entirely! I'm always on the quest for the "best" double ipa, the "best" stout or Belgian ale.

So if you love beer and you love checking out great beer spots, join us!

It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …
