WWYI? Who Would You Interview?

So… we’ve been slacking on the six-pack interviews… a great idea, but just not executed… so… with regards to Minnesota beer-related movers and shakers, who would you like to see interviewed?

Brad? Corey at Hohensteins? Lanny Hoff?

Who is a mover and a shaker around here? What makes you one?

Just off the top of my head….

Alvey from Four Firkins

Omar from Surly

Jeff from Flat Earth

Any brewer from any brew pub/brewery in MN….or dare I say (from our very own Tijuana) Wisconsin

Craft brew friendly bar tenders/bar owners

So pour a pint and roll tape!

Brewmaster at Flat Earth

Brewmaster at Lift Bridge

You know, I would also throw in Sean Brush at the Firkins. I frequent the place a lot and he really knows his stuff. Everything he has recommended to me has been excellent. Interesting guy too.

Mike and Dave Hoops
John Moore

more obscure small beer joints outside the st.paul/minneapolis metro… exposure keeps beer alive these days and go while gas is cheap-er…

Can mnbeer.com writers chime in!? How about Colin Mullen (Barley Johns) or Pete Rifakes (Town Hall) about the Craft Brewers Guild and their legislative activity?

SPB wrote on February 16th, 2009 at 5:01 pm:

I’d like to hear from the Town Hall people, the Barley Johns people, Alvey, the Acadia people, or John over at Stub and Herbs.

Thanks for the mention Greg, but I don’t think I’m quite a mover or a shaker yet.
Although I can shake that ass pretty good. But that’s another story for a different forum…

I like the idea of doing something a little less obvious. I think one of the distributors could be interested. Or, we could in the other direction (pre-production). We’ve got Rahr Malting (or Brewers Supply Group), as an example. We could probably find an executive willing to spend a bit of time doing an interview. Another idea is to find out who the brewers think we should interview. It may be that they’d have some old-school mentors who’d make for a good interview. Heck, if there is a nice concentration of them having received their edumactations from one particular place, we could see about having an interview with someone from that school (e.g. Siebel Institute…you get the idea). My two cents.

Lanny Hoff, Artisanal Imports, that guy is a smart mother fucker and he knows his shit! He’s got some pretty wild stories about beer in far off places too….

Jon from Stub's wrote on February 17th, 2009 at 7:52 pm:

I think it would be great to interview the old team fro All Saints. Brad the beer guy, Lanny Hoof, Corey Shovein and Jason from Bell’s. It would be great to hear what they have to say about how far the MN craft beer scene has come since the early 90′s.

Joe wrote on February 17th, 2009 at 7:58 pm:

100% agree with Jon. Plus the combined knowledge of those four is unmatched!

Chad wrote on February 18th, 2009 at 8:57 pm:

I’d offer up curt/Kathy stock or Kristen. England from the Saint Paul homebrewers club. Or, really, anyone in the local homebrewing “scene”. We have two of the best Homebrew shops and the #1 competition homebrewers club in the country right here in the Twin Cities. You can’t go wrong.

(apologies for any names that I spelled dead wrong. I’m posting this from my phone. And I’ve had more than one beer.)
