ABOUT THE MINNESOTA DELEGATES
We're realising that our Minnesota beer guide is now the norm, rather than the exception, in having more than one Beer Delegate.
Minnesota
Bryan Koolmeister is blessed with a wonderful name and a lifestyle that lives up to it...
...while Bill Cassidy is smart, knows his beer and is not afraid to write about it!
So give a warm UNOB welcome to Bryan Koolmeister and Bill Cassidy!
You'd forgive a man with the surname Koolmeister if he had a bit of an ego problem. Funny how he's turned out to be a party animal...
As well as fishing for ladies (he's single), Bryan likes to fish for actual fish as well. Accompanied during both trawling operations by a cold beer, of course!
Our second and very worthy Beer Delegate is Bill Cassidy.
The only comment posted on Bill's blogspace when we downloaded his photo was: "Nice artsy photo... nerd."
A tad harsh, we feel. Bill's clearly a man with passion, as you'll see from his first article, a rant about beer serving glasses... Nerd?! Never. And anyway, somebody talked him into uploading this much nicer piccy. So there.
We're glad to have BOTH of you, though we'll take any more people who want to give you a hand. It's a big job.
Read on for their application speeches...
Your application speech, Bryan
I am a beer drinking, partying, life
of the party Koolmeister! Yes that is my real, born last
name.
I go from bar to bar, fairs in the summer and clubs and parties in-between.
What better a Minnesota Beer Delegagte than Koolmeister!
Your application speech, Bill
Labatt Blue. I was raised on the stuff.
From a very young age, my parents would allow me to take the "opening tax" for bottles fetched from the fridge. As I matured, so did my appreciation of beer.
I had the privelage in my college years to study for a term in Germany. I was supposedly studying the language and culture, and the easiest way to do both was to study the beer first.
It was my introduction to the world of beer, and it is my desire to share my hopsy acumen with all. Prost!
Thanks to both of you and welcome!
Join Bryan, Bill and their colleagues at the UNOB!
