My Background
I'm a Scorpio with B.A.'s in History and History of Art. My day job is an administrative assistant position. I first discovered beer at the ripe age of three when I found a cup of IC Lite at one of my parent's parties, and mistaking it for Sprite, I drank a sip. Gross! I held the opinion that beer was nasty right up until my junior year of college when I turned 21 and discovered all that East Lansing bars had to offer. I started with the local classics: Labatt and Blue Moon. I tasted a few others and slowly came around. And then, one day, I met the love of my life.
It was Memorial Day, 2004. I was living at a summer sublet house with a chef and a nice girl whose name escapes me. The chef was throwing a massive party. Homemade wings, soaked watermelon, fresh fruit, the works. And the icing on the cake? A half-barrel keg of Bell's Oberon and a sack of navel oranges. One sip and I was in love. I left behind cocktails (with the exception of the occasional tryst) at that moment. If I could marry a beer, then I would have proposed right then and there.
