About Me

Location: Tempe, Arizona, United States

As illustrated in these blogs I am fond of beer. I travel for a living. In my recent history I worked in Durango Co. for 1 year followed by a few months back in Arizona, 10 months in Sioux City, Iowa, and (at last) I'm in Sacramento Ca. My favorite area of this country is the west (This side of the Rockies) the Pacific coast from Santa Barbara, north could keep me busy for the rest of my life. I lived briefly in Humboldt Co Ca. and am irresistably drawn back.I support the Arizona music scene and believe it to be one of the best in this country. I am also frequently found in front of this computer, which I use to compose these blogs, obsessively collect and trade music,and contact and communicate with the greater world.

Organic Baby!

Several years ago my friend Royce and I stopped at the Ukiah Brewing Co.. The second certified fully organic restaraunt in the country! Everything from the beer to the salt and pepper are certified fully organic ( an extremely arduous task. Please read about it from the link provided). ! Here we met Bret Cooperrider the brewmaster who most graciously and enthusiasticly gave us a full tour. When I told him I was gathering barlywines for my collection he even gave me a 1998 Old Hophead (from the defunct Humes Brewing Co.) from his personal stash. Bless his heart. (That's Royce to the far left with headband gettin' ready to boogie down.)
P.S. They also have some noteworthy musical acts, like Burning Spear and David Nelson to name a few.

The rumors are true! Brown Shugga by Lagunitas Brewing Company is in town. So is the Hairy Eyeball! I fell off the edge of my seat (barstool).

What happens when two women, a marraige counselor and a pharmacist, get together and start a business? Why The Lost Coast Brewing Co. outa Humboldt County of course. Certainly the best drug to take the edge off those marital woes. Best of all their product is now available in the Phoenix area.
