ABOUT THE ALBERTA DELEGATES
Our Alberta guide began strongly, with Trevor Prosser's email address including the word "Deadmonton". We knew we were in for a treat after that...
Meet our Alberta beer guides!
Trevor Prosser
clearly is no stranger to life on the inside (of a beer bottle)...
...and The Oilman has a boss so uptight that he made us give him a pseudonym.
Following a trend first set by our Ontario beer guide, we're announcing a duo of Delegates today. All the better to cover Alberta for us!
First up is that Deadmonton guy, Trevor Prosser. We're not sure why he posed for an official mugshot, though it would be appropriate if he were held at Her Majesty's pleasure for sticking up a liquor store...
He seems like a guy with a wide-angle view of the beer drinking world, which is fine with us. Happy to have you, Trev.
Our second able-bodied Beer Delegate is The Oilman who, despite working for a company with a building sponsored by a very famous beer brand, has been forced by his boss to remove his real name and photo from our site.
Alanis Morissette might have had something to say about that if she were still trying to come up with a rhyming couplet for Ironic. (Which we sincerely hope she's not.)
Read on for their cracking application speeches.
Your proposal speech, Trevor
Beer. For centuries, it has divided us. Germans would mock Americans for not following purity laws; the Irish would strike down Brits who disliked Guinness and nobody believed the French could produce a good beer.
We have been divided too long. I applaud a UNOB, with delegations from around the world, that would seek to unify us, so that we may raise our glasses and say, we may be different, but at least we're not like those snobby wine drinkers!
Your application proposal, Oilman
I currently live near Edmonton, Alberta and I
think I would make a great delagate for the province (if his boss let him... Ed.).
Although I am at the ripe old age of 18, I'm quite knowledgable of beers (how many 18-year-olds could tell you a beer has a toffee aroma and a lightly oaked palate?).
Also, due to my age I would like to inform people of the younger side of drinking, primarily drinking events and places/hangouts. My favorite beers are Kokanee and Sapporo (Japanese). In addition to Alberta brands, I also would like to help introduce Albertans to new beers.
I work at a liquor store and have access to many new beers and look forward to being a part of the multi-nation network.
Great stuff! Welcome, Alberta.
Wannabee a B.D.?
