Not many beers make me want to change my lifestyle.
I’m a vegetarian, but I couldn’t help but yearn for a good German wurst when I tasted Devils Backbone Smokehaus Lager. The smoky quality of this rauchbier is silky smooth, a gentle whiff rather than a hot blast, and my mouth watered for something savory.

About admin
I am a writer. And a musician/songwriter. And a husband/father. I love good beer, the outdoors, the embrace of family, the company of true friends, the telling of a good story and the inner peace derived from quiet reflection in solitude.
Recently I have specialized in beer writing. My most recent adventure is "Virginia Beer: A Guide from Colonial Days to Craft's Golden Age" published fall 2018 by University of Virginia Press. In October 2014, "Richmond Beer: A History of Brewing in the River City" was published by History Press. "Charlottesville Beer: Brewing in Jefferson's Shadow," followed in January 2017. Send me an email at rvabeerguy@gmail.com.
As you can see from this site, however, my interests are broader than beer. Spend time, leave a comment or just enjoy.
