After spending my entire life in Michigan, I finally had enough of the cold and the economy.As a long time aficionado of craft beer, I had the opportunity to work in the beer industry giving me a new insight into the business side. I learned the techniques and science of properly installed draft beer systems, the importance of proper draft line maintenance, and saw the front and back of house workings of some of the best beer bars in the area. I decided to combine this expanded talent with an event and festival organizer with decades of experience to create the Great American Craft Beer Tour. The goal is to expose more people to quality craft beer through festivals and events in areas that are otherwise without that opportunity.

Founding Partner/ Craft Beer GuyGreat American Craft Beer Tour Feb 2013 - 2016Greater Nashville Area, TnWith the growth of the craft beer market, many individuals are jumping into beer event management without the skill, knowledge, or sense of propriety to make the events fair, educational, and comfortable for the guests. Our concept is bring events into areas that don't have the exposure to craft beer, and price the event at a fair and reasonable price. The concept is also to partner with the distributors, suppliers, and breweries, not to demand free product but to pay the fair price.
