DRAFT’s January/February issue is on shelves now, as many of you know. This is the first issue with me listed as Beer Director and I’m still humbled and amazed at my new job – so much so I don’t mind pushing it on you all!
I won’t give too much info away, but there are a few things you’ll want to know if you’re thinking about buying a beer magazine this month.
- Stan, from Appellation Beer, has put together a beautiful piece on Barrel-Aged beers. I know he could have written a book on this topic, but in the four pages of the story I’m certain you’ll either learn something, or be inspired to find a barrel-aged beer for drinking.
- This is our food issue, and boy howdy is it ever! From the cover man, Dave Lieberman, to gastropubs and pretty exotic recipes, I think we’ve got something for the foodie in all of us. I also quite liked the food/beer pairings pieces where we were able to pair more common dishes with great beer to make a great meal.
- Our celebrity likes good beer! I found this interview to be quite enjoyable and have heard from others the same thing. Go Dave!
There’s a whole lot more too. Again, I’m honored to have the job I have and am pretty proud of the product overall. I hope you’ll agree.
Well, here’s some news for you all to enjoy. DRAFT Magazine has a new Beer Director, and its me!
DRAFT Publishing is pleased to announce that Rick Sellers will take on the role of Beer Director for its flagship publication, DRAFT Magazine. Rick has worked in the beer industry for several years as a homebrewer, beer judge and owner and host of Pacific Beer News, an online news source and podcast focused on the West Coast beer scene. He has previously contributed to DRAFT Magazine as both a writer and editor.
“DRAFT has grown considerably since its inception, and Rick’s level of experience and expertise make him an ideal fit as we continue to expand the breadth of our beer coverage,” says Erika Rietz, editor-in-chief and co-founder of DRAFT Magazine.
