Kevin Myers (2)
Kevin Myers is a lover of 'local', be it beer, food or goods. Corporate globalization has allowed him the opportunity to sample 'local' around the world, and he is of the opinion that the best he has ever had is to be found at the last place he has been. Having tried his hand once or twice at his own blog, he has come to realize that he finds the stories of others more interesting than his own. Contributing to Know Your Brewer provides him a vehicle to meet some unique people with some good stories to tell.

Ethan Rusin (3)
I am long time craft beer fan who is originally from Minnesota, but I have been living in Chicago for the last three years. When it comes to beer, I am a big fan of barleywines, stouts, abbey ales and DIPAS. Really, anything that has some appealing flavor is something I would like to try. I am a homebrewer, and have been for a few years off and on (though I am making an effort to brew more this year). Beyond beer, I am an avid bicycler, writer, and gardener.
