ABOUT THE FLORIDA DELEGATES
Expecing our Florida beer guide to be in
less demand than the northernmost states, we were pleasantly
surprised at the huge response we got for the Delegate
positions.
After a lot of procrastination, measuring, remeasuring (and downing more measures for Dutch courage), we managed to reduce the candidate list to three.
But there was so little to choose between them when all was said and done, the list could not be reduced any further! So now we have THREE UNOB musketeers out there in the Sunshine state working on our Florida beer guide.
Meet our Florida beer guides!
Doctor G. is a party animal (some kind of rodent, probably, from this pic)...
...Robb Zerr is a pirate and wants to rob and pilage on the high seas...
...and Evan Gordon looks a lot like Nicky Butt, ex-England and Manchester Utd midfield dynamo.
Our first Beer Delegate is Gavin Smith, aka Doctor G. He chose his living space for its proximity to a decent pub and that's proof enough of his serious intent. (We're not sure about the Doctor G. thing either, but sometimes these things are best left undisturbed...)
Ably assisting Doc in his quest for Sunshine beer is Beer Delegate Robb Zerr. Recently promoted from Deputy Delegate, Robb is keen as mustard about spreading the word of Florida ales.
Among other talents, Robb is a part-time pirate(!). Glad to see we didn't get any strange guys applying for this role...
He seems dedicated to living the pirate life, seeking the best underground pubs and the strangest brews, so he'll be a great asset to the Florida beer guide. Ahoy there, matey, good to have you on board.
Last but not least is Evan Gordon, who as you can see from his picture, has picked up a tasty hooker from time to time.
He seems very passionate about Florida's place on the beer food chain and demands respect for a state with more than its fair share of beer fanatics.
Evan is neither pirate nor weird nickname wearer, so he'll probably be the sober-ish head that sails the drunken Floridians through stormy waters. Or not. Time will tell. He looks a bit like ex-Manchester United and England midfielder Nicky Butt though. So that's slightly strange.
If YOU think you can add to a team consisting of a Doctor, a pirate and a Butt lookalike, see the bottom of the page for details of how to become a Deputy Beer Delegate for the Florida beer guide, or to apply for other states, provinces or countries of the world!
Your proposal speech, Doctor G.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, future colleagues of the United Nations... of Beer, by all means take another gulp before I begin.
Beer. Not just a mere word, no gentlemen! It's a lifestyle. It's a means to an end.
I want to get laid more often. Hire me as a UNOB Ambassador, and the half-naked-girls-with-beer-photos will start pouring in! This I promise all of you. My colleagues, I now digress, in order to enjoy a quality brew.
PS I'm a great writer that can spell "Delegate", even when drinking beer heavily!
Your proposal speech, Robb
I have been a beer aficionado for the last three decades. During my distinguished career, I have sampled the finest and worst brews served by mankind in many ports of call.
I'll try anything once... or until they run out.
I long ago traded in my six pack for a keg and am proud of my important economic role in the world -- helping keep the breweries of the world become solvent and prosperous, even at the sacrifice of my own liver.
I am well versed in all things beer in Central Florida, from the Atlantic to the Gulf.
Your proposal speech, Evan
My Fellow Delegates:
Florida is often considered a beer wasteland, a tourist mecca with nothing better to offer than watered down alco-pops and sub-par beers. I am here to tell you today, that this is not the case.
While Florida may not have many breweries of its own to speak of (it's hard to brew in warm weather), we have one of the best selections of Imports in the US.
And so I say: admit Florida to your deligation. We are a small community, but we have so very much to offer.
What a hat-trick of Beer experts!
