If I&#8217;m interested in something I need to know EVERYTHING about it, and as a result I tend to take things to the extreme. Case in point, I have been in college since 2011 with no end in sight. When I&#8217;m not in the lab, or buried behind my computer screen attempting to write coherently, you can usually find me either at the gym, out in the woods somewhere, or spending time with friends sharing a few beers over some board games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite beer(s)?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tough to say what my favorite beer is &#8211; but two of my favorite breweries are Human Robot and Trillium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite story from a City Brew Tour?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since I have been giving tours for so long, I have had my fair share of repeat customers. One of my favorite stories, however, is that I have had one couple take my tour for a birthday every year for the past 3 years. I have been to this person&#8217;s 47th, 48th, and 49th birthday celebrations. I told them that if I&#8217;m not actually invited to the 50th birthday party I&#8217;ll be bummed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you love the most about your city&#8217;s beer scene?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really love how much of a community it is &#8211; there are so many collaborations between the breweries in the city and it&#8217;s really great to experience. Also, I truly believe that Philly has one of the richest beer scenes in the country in terms of variety and quality of beer that is both made in the city but also that is available in the city from all over the country and the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you love being a Beer Guide?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City Brew Tours was actually my very first job out of college and, aside from a brief hiatus during peak COVID, I have been working here ever since. As a result, being a Beer Guide has been a huge part of my life for the better part of a decade. I have made a lot of great friends in the beer scene in this city that I really cherish. If it weren&#8217;t for CBT I wouldn&#8217;t be where I am today, so I really love everything about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite thing to do in your free time?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really love to be active so whether that&#8217;s hiking, running, biking, or playing sports I&#8217;m all about it. And of course&#8230; checking out new breweries!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could have a drink with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would love to have a beer with William Osler. He was a pioneer in the field of medicine and he also was known to be a prolific storyteller and is thus one of the most often quoted physicians. So I think it would be an interesting conversation, especially after a few beers.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Scott &#8211; Beer Guide<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3253 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citybrewtours.com\/philadelphia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/scott.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Tell us about yourself!<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was born just outside of Philly and have lived in PA for my entire life.

While they may not always get the recognition that other cities do, we have a long beer history, some of the best beer bars in the country, and an ever growing list of breweries. It&#8217;s the biggest city in the state with the 2nd most craft breweries in the country!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you love being a Beer Guide?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could talk about craft beer all day long and now I have a job that lets me do that.

She said that she used to love drinking beer and being social, the tour was the first time in over a decade she drank beer &#8211; and her first time with any craft beer! She was a champ, enjoying new beers, absorbing all the information, listening to the others chatter. At one point she asked me a question about the foam\/head on a beer, she said, &#8220;I never really thought about it until now, but I bet they&#8217;re different on different beers, and I figured I would ask&#8230;&#8221; Seeing her curiosity bloom and her enjoying this tour really made my day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you love the most about your city&#8217;s beer scene?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more than just good beer; the breweries focus on community, inclusivity, and sustainability.
