Interview with a Beer Blogger – Nothing but Beersay
Beer bloggers are a lucky lot. They get to enjoy their subject (beer and the drinking of beer) and at the same time chronicle the event. Our next blogger in the spotlight hails from Great Britain, but he has a decidedly worldly beer palate. Having a look at his blog, one can definitely tell that he loves his subject and if one has followed him on Twitter for any period of time, he has no problem doing research. Please welcome to the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame – Phil (last name withheld to protect the innocent, the innocent what, we’re not sure of).Name: Phil Twitter Name: @Filrd Blog or…

Interview with a Homebrewer – 3 Frenchs
Another great homebrewer was willing to sit down in the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame for an lively interview. This interviewee got into homebrewing the way I think most do, with a buddy.

Welcome our interview series, Mr. Robert French.Name: Robert French (@threefrenchs) Day Job: Streets & Fleet Manager for a City in Southern California. When did you start homebrewing?

Interview with a Homebrewer – Microbe Man
A hobby well chosen by our next featured homebrewer. With a background in microbiology and chemistry, this brewer should have no problems working the finicky nature of some of beers complex ingredients. Having brewed for quite some time also means he’s moved from “kit” to “keg” (not sure if he kegs or not, but I needed something fluid to write).
