Jack & I Hiking Camelback Mountain

Who am I?

So you know, I’m the guy who brews beer, writes this blog and most importantly… I’m the guy trying to teach other home brewers how to brew beer… better beer, that is…

But since you probably know that already, here’s what happens in the life of Jorge outside this blog…

For starters, I still spend nights pounding school textbooks finishing a Real Estate bachelor’s degree at ASU… if that is any hint, I live in the Phoenix Metro area and am a member of the Arizona Society of Home Brewers…

Occasionally, I’ll slap on hiking boots on my dog Jack and myself and head out to the trails at Camelback mountain… possibly one of the best hikes in town…

Jorge Snowboarding Stevens Pass, WA

Besides brewing & drinking beer, and hiking, I like to strap on to my snowboard and hit the slopes…

Of course, living in AZ is not the same as fresh Washington snow powder and hops!…

… but we have great weather 8 months out of the year… pfff…

At least we do have some great breweries like Four Peaks, SunUp Brewing, Papago Brewing, and Sleepy Dog Saloon & Brewery among others…

Chief Of the Boat & I aboard USS Henry M. Jackson Sailing Into Hawaii

Prior to moving to AZ, I spent a few years scrubbing the decks and helping keep the USS Henry M Jackson clean for almost four years…

That means I served in the US Navy as a Sonar Technician, which means I was the guy wearing the headphones listening to the ocean and helping steer the submarine clear of potential threats by identifying vessels such as war ships, submarines, cargo ships, whales and shrimp…

That’s pretty much the story of my life… thanks for reading… and I hope you enjoy my blog posts and videos…

Crack open a cold one, subscribe to our e-letter and learn how to start brewing better beer…

I provide lots of good information absolutely FREE on my blog and I also have a training program for those who are serious about mastering the craft…

Why do I charge for my training?

Simple… it takes time to research and put together good quality information in a format that shortcuts a homebrewer’s learning curve… the money I get from the sales of this training program help me invest in more brewing education, brewing ingredients and equipment so that in turn I can provide you with better quality training…

Enjoy, and don’t forget to share this website with your friends, bookmark it and leave me a comment…
