Marketing Craft Beer, as taught by Professor Neal Stewart

Some might say that Neal Stewart, my previous manager, is a pretty big deal. He has a sandwich named after him at the Rackhouse Pub, along with a blog devoted to turkey sandwiches to go with it. In my book, that alone makes for a pretty big deal. He’s also an accomplished adult beverage marketer, [...]

An Open Letter to President Obama

President Obama, I work for Flying Dog Brewery, a Craft Brewery only 42 miles away from White House (in Frederick, Maryland). With your upcoming happy hour with Professor Gates and Office Crowley, I would have hoped that you would support American-owned Craft Beer companies, and selected an American-owned and American-made Craft Beer. With a large [...]

Beer Me 2: Electric Boogaloo*

View Larger Map I’m starting a directory of all the places I’ve had a beer. I may even let you know what beer I am drinking. It’s a start and I’m sure this will evolve over time. Thoughts? *After I wrote this blog entry, I realized that there was already a blog entry already with [...]

Gonzo vs. Gonzo

I wrote another blog entry for the increasingly popular Denver advertising/marketing/pr/design blog The Denver Egotist about Gonzo Imperial Porter and the new Hunter S. Thompson documentary. I saw the documentary last night, and aside from a few bad bluescreening moments, it’s spectacular. People interviewed for the film include Juan Thompson (Hunter’s son), Jimmy Carter, George [...]

Yes, I can pair beer and turkey sandwiches

If you know me, you know I am a turkey sandwich fanatic. So much so that I even wrote a blog entry for the Denver Egotist about pairing beer and turkey sandwiches. Mmmm, turkey sandwiches. Take a read and let me know what you think.

Savor, por favor?*

Savor – An American Craft Beer & Food Experience from Flying Dog Brewery on Vimeo. When I was on the East Coast, I worked at Savor, a beer festival that was all about pairing American Craft Beer and gourmet food. I poured a bunch of beer for happy folks, gave away a few free tickets [...]

I'm edumucating people on Colorado beer over at the Denver Egotist

I’m learning people real good on local Colorado beer for a great local blog called The Denver Egotist. This week’s column is about Avery’s Karma, one of their Summer seasonals. I’m sharing blogging responsibilities with someone over at New Belgium, too. We’ll be trading off all Summer, and I’ll be writing about various Colorado breweries [...]

En Garde (or Leggo my Eggo?)

Flying Dog Brewery released a new Spring seasonal beer this year – it’s a Biere de Garde (a traditional French farmhouse style) and we’re calling it Garde Dog. I shot some video on Friday featuring Executive Brewer Matt Brophy and PR & Event Coordinator Steph Kerchner. Take a look at the HD version. As for [...]

The Denver Egotist boosts my ego a little

The Denver Egotist wrote about Flying Dog’s packaging redesign, something I worked on. I got a nice little name drop. Just something to boost my ego a little bit. Well, it’s nice to get some recognition.

Savor

I wrote a blog entry over at beerdinners.com about Savor, a craft beer and food “experience”. It’s a pretty cool even, happening in Washington D.C. in May. I’m attending with a few other members of our brewery and will be taking photos, shooting HD video, twittering and all of that. Liveblogging, if you will. It [...]
