Find out more about Mark:

Mark McDermott has been enjoying the fine union of grain, hops, yeast and water since sneaking Schmidt and Grain Belt at home. But it was only after being exposed to great craft beers at local brewpubs that he realized that beer can be more than a watery mood-altering substance. Now he seeks to justify his love of beer by writing about it, seeking out new, good craft beers, and by making his own. Email Mark
