TESTIMONIALS
I worked with Bryan personally and took him to all eight local breweries as well as several restaurants during his stay. He has produced well with a feature article in Beer Advocate, numerous posts on his own blog along, and articles on other sites. We also received radio and television coverage following his visit. Bryan is a true professional and we look forward to a return visit so he can cover the quickly changing food and craft beer scene in our community.
