Ethan – Beer Guide\"\"<\/h4>\n

Tell us about yourself!
\n<\/strong>I\u2019ve been a tour guide for almost two decades, and a beer drinker as long as I could be. When I\u2019m not talking about beer, you can find me narrating sea lion shows at aquariums, lost in a NYC museum, or continuing my mission to taste every pizza slice in New York City (for quality control purposes, naturally). I\u2019m also one of the hosts of The Beervengers podcast, where I go by my alter ego: The Beer Wonder.<\/p>\n

Favorite beer(s)?
\n<\/strong>I love a sessionable IPA for summer days, a maibock with a charcuterie board and brown ale at an outdoor beer garden with friends.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite story from a City Brew Tour?
\n<\/strong>My very first City Brew Tour was for a couple: he loved beer, she was dubious. We made it our mission to find her a perfect beer. After 12 tastes, she stumbled onto a Gose and fell in love. To this day, I still receive texts with pictures from her whenever she has a beer.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about your city’s beer scene?
\n<\/strong>People oddly underestimate NYC\u2019s beer scene even though, before Prohibition, a heavy percentage of the US\u2019s beer came from Gotham. In my time as a New Yorker, I\u2019ve seen the craft beer scene explode, with all of the City\u2019s boroughs finally represented. We\u2019re small, so walkable brewery crawls are easy. Plus, we\u2019ve got the subways, which means there\u2019s always a ride home.<\/p>\n

Why do you love being a Beer Guide?
\n<\/strong>Beer is meant to be social, so the best part of being a beer guide is the chance to meet people from all over and share a beer with them. I\u2019ve now got drinking buddies across the US and around the world!<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you wish your city was more well-known for?
\n<\/strong>The parks. Everyone immediately gravitates towards Central Park, but NYC has hundreds of tiny pocket parks scattered throughout all 5 boroughs. They\u2019re the perfect place to grab a breather in the City That Never Sleeps.<\/p>\n

What’s an interesting fact about you?
\n<\/strong>I once memorized pi to 100 digits for extra credit, and annually do a solemn recitation on March 14.<\/p>\n

Anything else you’d like to share?
\n<\/strong>If you say you don\u2019t like beer, you just haven\u2019t tried enough yet!<\/p>\n

Tell us about yourself!
\n<\/strong>I am a Cicerone Program Certified Beer Server and have been a tour guide for the\"\" better\u00a0part of a\u00a0decade.\u00a0I have lived in multiple countries (and worked in more), and have used my love for international foods to drive my search for the best flavors in beer. I have a love for history and educating, which is why beer tours are the best. They have everything from tasting,\u00a0history, and science all encompassed in a fun experience.<\/p>\n

Favorite beer(s)?
\n<\/strong>I will always go for a Saison, but every beer is equal opportunity as long as it has layers of flavor and character.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite story from a City Brew Tour?
\n<\/strong>Picking one story out of 4 years of tours is the hardest thing to do! However, my favorite experience is to see the shock and awe when people find a beer they absolutely love, even if it is something they would never try on their own.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about your city’s beer scene?
\n<\/strong>The diversity is the best thing about the NYC beer scene. With over 40 breweries, each one is different than the last. They all have their special niche, and quench any thirst you may have. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you love being a Beer Guide?
\n<\/strong>I love educating, and as a Beer Guide, I get to teach people about history, science, and cuisine all from the lens of beer.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?
\n<\/strong>Honestly, I love food. So my free time usually involves eating or spending time at home with my pets, drinking good beer….and eating.<\/p>\n

What’s an interesting fact about you?
\n<\/strong>I have lived in Hawaii, Mexico, China, multiple states in the US and worked in the Caribbean and even more states.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anything else you’d like to share?
\n<\/strong>I have a pet rabbit and he’s a grumpy old man.<\/span><\/p>\n
