Good food and good company is even better with great beer; realizing that Jessica has loved learning about Beer throughout her whole life.

Currently, Jessica is finishing up her degree in Marketing and Studio Arts. While out of class she enjoys brewing a good cup of coffee in the morning to study or paint then going to any of Pittsburgh local breweries on the weekend with Friends. Jessica is a travel nerd who loves learning more about how culture and climate shape culture and taste. Favorite Beers: Ottakringer Lager, Magic Hat Number 9, and Lagunitas Daytime Ale.
