Angelo M. De Ieso II
Angelo M. De Ieso II comes from the great Northeast where he spent most of his formative years in Central Maine after being born in Massachusetts. His first experience with craft brewing came from Samuel Adams, Shipyard, Geary’s, and a few other imports like Samuel Smiths and (gulp) Guinness. In 1996 he moved to the Bay Area and discovered Lagunita’s, Mendocino, Anchor, and others that changed his palate forever (there was always a few Henry Weinhards to go around, too). Since 1998, Angelo has lived and quaffed in Portland, Oregon where his friend Shane introduced him to several delicious flavors from Deschutes to Spaten, Full Sail to Hair of the Dog. In 2005, Angelo graduated from Portland State University with a degree in communication and a deeper love for craft beers. Angelo met Aaron, his partner in crime at Brewpublic, at KPSU, Portland State’s radio station, where the two were staff members and DJs. He has been an correspondent for the Portland Tribune’s Guest on Tap column, LivePDX.com, and has been featured in publications such as Beer Northwest and PDX Magazine. Angelo also has a great interest in independent music, and has been a booker and organizer for shows around the Portland under the name Pop Tomorrow! Angelo garnered much knowledge regarding beer from his experiences working at Belmont Station, Pyramid Brewing, By the Bottle, Beer Revolution, and Olde Depot Public House, and from many knowledgeable people along the way. It is Angelo’s mission to bring “infotainment” and “edumation” to the readers of this website. If you have any questions or comments, or would like to contribute, please contact him. Prost! angelo@brewpublic.com
“Head blogger for Brewpublic, good friend of the bar, and all-around ale maniac, Angelo appears at first to be a soft-spoken, modest fella with a peculiar predilection towards Boston-area sports teams. But make no mistake, this man knows where the dead bodies are buried.” -Michael O’Connor, Bailey’s Taproom, professional beer scribe.
Aaron Miles
Aaron Miles is Brewpublic’s co-founder, and creative director. He serves as Webmaster and designer and helps out with business, advertising and promotions. He is a native of the Pacific Northwest and long-time Beervana resident. Friends since 2000, Aaron and Angelo joined forces to launch Brewpublic in 2008. Aaron works as a freelance creative consultant, web and graphic designer.
D.J. Paul
D.J. Paul hails from the Heartland of America, Northern Illinois to be specific. Growing up in the Midwest allowed him to experience many of the beers that now fall into the Pabst portfolio, Schlitz being his “favorite”.
His affinity towards all things beer began while growing up in Roscoe, Illinois when going beer can collecting with his father. It could have been the long hikes in the local forest preserve or the family trip to La Crosse, WI to get the rare can form G. Heileman Brewing Co. Unfortunately this collection still resides back in Illinois. From there he went on to college at Southern Illinois University, the home of the Salukis! It was during this time that he discovered quality beer, whether it was a German import or a new up and coming microbrew. And during his senior year at SIU he took his first trip to Portland via the very scenic Empire Builder from Chicago and fell in love with this fine city and its burgeoning craft beer scene at the time. Now 15+ years later he finally resides here in Portland where he is never far from a delicious Oregon produced beer.
Marc Demeule
Marc Demeule is Brewpublic’s Québecois correspondent. Says Marc: Beer is wonderful. It’s a good way to socialize, share and have fun with friendly people (especially if they can appreciate good beers too). Beer tasting panels made with friends is also an occasion to taste plenty of different flavours from around the world. Thanks to everybody who imports beer, trades some on the Internet and to every beer store owner who bring us new products, new breweries, creating an infinite wish list for every beer geek. All of those different beers inspire microbrewers and home brewers to craft better recipes, trying to brew higher quality products and create amazing beers (who could have thiought to brew a Double IPA few years ago?).
I’m not a brewer or an expert. I have just had a strong interest for beer since… let’s say 1990. Grolsch and Heineken were the only « imported » beers in Québec. Then a few microbreweries tried to have a piece of the beer market between Molson and Labbatt (two macros). Unibroue changed the beer mentality by introducing new products and they are still there, even if they are now owned by of Saporo.
I went to several brewpubs and beer events in my area (province of Québec) and I had the opportunity to drink beer in Belgium, UK, Ireland, and France. I also have experienced beer times in Cooperstown, Boston, Burlington and Portland Beervana. Yeah, Beervana!
Matthew DiTullo
Matthew DiTullo, a native New Yorker, had always enjoyed the bounty of craft beer offered in the Northeast states. It wasn’t until he moved to Portland, Oregon where beer completely consumed every thought of his mind. He can regular be found on the forums of BeerAdvocate and Ratebeer and enjoys revisiting his favorite pubs in Portland.
Along with his passion for tasty, fermented beverages, he’s a freelance video editor and a new media artist interested primarily in video and mixed media works. His artwork ranges from process oriented video installations to geometric drawings.
Matthew continues to take advantage of all things beer related in the Northwest and is proud to call his home Beervana.
Matt Van Wyk
Matt Van Wyk, brewmaster at Oakshire Brewing in Eugene Oregon is a ten year veteran in the brewing industry. He has been with Oakshire since Spring of 2009. Previously. Matt brewed in Chicagoland for three different brewpubs and one production brewery, most recently heading up the brewery at Flossmoor Station in Flossmoor, Illinois. It was there, in 2006, that he earned the GABF small brewpub brewer of the year. Since arriving at Oakshire, he has lead them in growth from a brewery with around 75 barrels of production space to the current capacity of about 300 barrels at any given time and the company staff has doubled.
Oakshire Brewing Company was founded in October 2006 by Native Oregonian brothers Jeff and Chris Althouse. With the singular goal of brewing the highest quality artisan beer, Oakshire has become recognized for consistently brewing fresh, unique and delicious beers in relatively small batches. Oakshire has an active blog on the web at http://oakbrew.com and they also offer brewery tours and beer tasting at their brewery every Saturday from 12-4pm. The brewery is located at 1055 Madera Street in Eugene. They can be reached at info(at)oakbrew.com or at (541) 688-4555
Michael O’Connor
Michael O’Connor is a freelance writer and “beertender” operating in Portland, Oregon whose work has been published in practically every local newspaper, magazine, and website based in the Portland area, including the Willamette Week, The Portland Tribune, PDX Magazine, Beer NW, Portland Picks, and now Brewpublic.
Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, Michael discovered his love for great beer through his father, Paul, who introduced it to him on a family trip to Munich, Germany’s Hofbräuhaus, the beer hall famous for hosting Hitler’s rise to power. Ironically, the taste of that first German lager was so repugnant to young Michael that he started eating horseradish to get the bitter flavor off his tongue. It would take several more years of reluctant and sporadic beer drinking until Michael discovered his first craft brew, Rogue Dead Guy. The alien flavors of that first Rogue beer kick-started a fervent passion for all things craft brewed and Oregonian that hasn’t abated to this day.
Michael moved to Portland in 2007 by way of New York City, where he witnessed 9/11, graduated from NYU, edited The Amazing Spider-Man and Wolverine at Marvel Comics, and met his future wife, Dipti Muni. He was hired at Bailey’s Taproom on January 1, 2008 as its first employee after harassing owner Geoff Phillips for a job over the course of several months.
The majority of the week he can be found behind the bar at Bailey’s pouring pints for thirsty patrons; the rest of the week, he can be found on the other side of the bar at Portland’s finest drinking establishments.
Nick Rivers
Nick Rivers has been doing all things web, music, and media oriented for 15 years. He’s written for and ultimately developed sites ranging from digital music and film to energy to beer. A native of Arizona, Nick moved to Southern California in 1991. After years of misguidedly consuming mainstream European imports, Nick began dabbling in small local breweries along California’s Central Coast before defecting. He moved to Portland in 2004 with then girlfriend and would be wife, Kim. Upon moving to the Rose City he was properly indoctrinated into the world of craft beer from the Northwest and beyond. Nick met Angelo in 2007 and after sharing beer, music and a few jaw dropping antics, realized the need to join Brewpublic and assist on the web and media front. You’ll find him lurking about the city, often at live shows and various beer bars, particularly Bailey’s Taproom where it’s rumored he’s been caught working. He is easily distracted by Belgian sours, Portland indie music, and well, Portland in general.
Kim Schimke
Kim Schimke was born and raised in Northern California by two brew evangelists, her parents. Growing up touring different breweries all around California, Kim was exposed to the world of hops ever since she graduated from a sippy cup to the pint. Having received her Bachelor’s Degree in psychology at Sonoma State, her knowledge of beer increasingly expanded as finals and midterms pushed her to pursue nearby brewery gems like Lagunitas, Bear Republic, Russian River, and HopMonk. She also has her Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Drexel University. Kim takes a less formal, unstructured approach to her beer education, however. Her breadth of knowledge comes straight from the bottle, or tap, or can, or wherever good beer is readily available and drinkable. When Kim isn’t trying to convince others she isn’t a lush, she spends her time on social media including Instagram, Twitter, and Yelp under the moniker kimsbaybrews. Kim has also moonlighted as an advice columnist for the Petaluma Post since 2007. She now drinks her way through the bay in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Dan Culver
Dan Culver, a native Pacific North-Westerner and Beervana resident since 2003, made his way originally from Aberdeen, Washington by way of Bellingham and Eugene. He attended college at Western Washington University, during which time his love of craft beer was initiated (thank you Boundary Bay!). After graduating it was on to Eugene with the love of his life Laura, but only for about a year. Although it was a brief stay it played a key role in Dan’s increasing love of beer as it brought him closer to Oregon’s booming craft-beer industry.
After Eugene it was on to Portland in order to further his education, in more ways than one. Upon arriving in Portland, his first destination for a draft beer: The Horse Brass! One glance at the impressive line-up of taps and Dan knew instantly that Portland was the town for him. After finally completing his graduate work at Portland State and finding steady employment, he has now been able to focus on more important things in life, yes, that would be beer. Being right at home in Beervana, Dan has improved his beer tasting repertoire over the past few years by making it a goal to visit every brewery, brewpub, and bottle shop in the metro area. Of course, his beer visits are not limited to the Willamette Valley –Dan makes a conscious effort to visit the finest breweries, pubs and bottle shops of every city he visits, from Kona to New York.
Dan’s current beer-related aspirations include continued active involvement in Portland’s beer community, contributing to Brewpublic, trying his hand at home-brewing, and just generally spreading beer love and appreciation wherever he goes. Odds are, if not out at a park or trail with Laura and their two shepherd pups, you’ll find him quaffing from an imperial pint at the Horse Brass or mixing it up with the patrons at The BeerMongers. Cheers!

Frank Dennis James
Frank Dennis James “I was born in Highland Park, Michigan, an inner-city “suburb” – the tiny enclave had balked when Detroit had attempted to annex it a century ago – whose fame stems from the fact that Henry Ford built his first assembly line there and generations later native son Bobbie Joe Hill led that 1966 UTEP basketball ball team that broke Adolph Rupp’s heart and changed college basketball forever.
“In college, the gypsy life called and I answered affirmatively. I’ve lived from coast to coast: Ann Arbor, Colorado Springs, New York City, Chicago, Boston, Providence, Madison, Ypsilanti, Milwaukee, Seattle, Vancouver and Portland. I’ve visited or driven though every one of the lower 48 states, except for Utah and Nevada. Along the way, I’ve earned degrees from Michigan, Brown and Wisconsin and worked a dizzying array of jobs: gas pump jockey, landscaper, cashier, golf club lavatory houseman, busboy, waiter, bartender, record store manager, blues club bouncer, college instructor/administrator and attorney.
“My beer education began seriously in ’93 when I moved back to Wisconsin and fell in with a cadre of beer-drinking co-workers, including one couple who’d dedicated themselves to traveling the world, eating well and drinking good beer. And because both were very good attorneys, they took extensive notes that detailed their travels and indulgences. Attending a beer fest with them was like drinking your way though a graduate seminar in beer.
“When I helped move a friend to Seattle in ’95, to ease the drudgery of the 2000 mile road trip, they supplied me with an inch-thick list of craft breweries – and their specific beers – from Milwaukee to Vancouver, BC. Along the way, I fell in love with hoppy beer, cool, rainy weather and the notion of making the Northwest my home. Over the next 6 years, I loaded up on frequent flier miles, finalized moving plans and eventually made another cross-country, craft beer-fueled, stuff-hauling road trip in 2001. After stays in both Vancouver, BC and Seattle, I settled on Portland because of it’s weather – seriously! – and its celebration of beer, bikes and dogs.
“Since then, I’ve traveled the Northwest, from Grant’s Pass north to Whistler, BC, developing a real jones for the hoppiest brews I can find and further educating my palate. I’m not a homebrewer – yet – but cooking is a passion that correlates and I’ve learned a lot about good beer from decades of talking to brewers, drinking everything from Stroh’s, that good old Detroit river water, Canadian lagers and ales we’d sneak across the border in our car trunks, beer from the small, German-influenced breweries that dot Wisconsin and the delicious offerings of places like Hair of the Dog right here in Portland.
“What a long, strange trip it’s been.”
Jana Daisy-Ensign
Jana Daisy-Ensign was born in Oregon, raised in Northern California and returned north to make Portland home in 2001. She grew up in a beercentric environment; visiting micro-breweries on family vacations rather than children’s theme parks, learning beer fundamentals long before she began sampling and finally making her own initial debut into the world of craft beer working on the Butte Creek Brewing bottling line in Chico, CA in the late 90s. After earning her graduate degree in Communications, she worked in the non-profit sector for a number of years, meanwhile ever exploring new breweries, beers and the joys of home brewing. Jana began working as a Sales Representative for Mt. People’s Organic Wine & Beer Distribution in 2006 where she remains enthusiastic about supporting independent producers and spreading a love of great beer. After living in various areas of Portland metro for over a decade (with her husband, beer aficionado, Tim Ensign), Jana‘s knowledge about and passion for beer has greatly expanded. In addition to her work in the beer industry, Jana is a proud mother, yoga teacher, gardener and writer. She owns and operates a small farm, Earth & Sky Farm (www.earthandskyfarm.com) with her husband Tim in Oregon City, Oregon. Their historic family farm currently offers choose and cut Christmas trees during the holidays (and yoga classes year round), but will hopefully someday boast fields hops!
Ben Edmunds
Ben Edmunds is a brewmaster and beer educator. He studied brewing at the Siebel Institute and completed his formal training at Doemens Academy in Munich. He is one of the brewers at Breakside Brewery in NE Portland. He founded Oregon Beer Odyssey, a company that offers formal classes in beer tasting and appreciation, in 2010 as a venue for spreading the gospel of good beer to as many people as will listen. One day, he hopes to open a craft brewery in Havana, Cuba.
Ben Kilduff
Ben Kilduff I’m 37 years old. I have lived in Portland, OR my whole life, and have been into craft beer for 3 years. Since turning 21 ,that is fifteen years of catching up to do. Since being enlightened to the world of craft beer, I have delved into homebrewing. I am still a novice, though, and have a lot of more to learn, but I love it. I have also gotten into cellaring beer. Like a squirrel, I stow away only the best “nuts” in the crawl space of my house. To add or subtract from treasure trove, I have to take everything out of the utility closet and peel open a square of carpet, floor and insulation. This is an amazing hobby! There is always something new to try, or some seasonal release beer that I couldn’t get enough of the last time it was out. Sometimes I have to bolt from the bottle shop before I but everything in sight. The people are also what makes this hobby so much fun. Beer geeks in general are very willing to share a special beer or relay their geekdom with anyone who wants to listen.So, cheers to the beer geeks – I am proud to be in your company!In addition to beer I am a big baseball fan. Go RED SOX!
Curtis Barnard, JR
Curtis Barnard, JR is a native Oregonian and relatively new to the craft beer scene. His desire to eat and cook great food lead to home brewing experiments and craft beer enlightenment. Over the past three years while working for the school paper at Oregon State University he’s developed a passion for both photography and the stories that go with the photos. Combining storytelling with local craft beer seemed a natural union, which led him to become a contributor to BREWPUBLIC.
Jason Wallace is the creative mind behind Portland Beer and Music. The tagline from his blog reads: “A Portland father with a healthy obsession for craft beer and live music brings you information and thoughts on both.” He believes that sums it up pretty well. Jason has a full time job, a wife who doesn’t like beer, a two year old daughter and another daughter on the way. So, the cards are stacked against him in getting out to drink beer and see live music. While he doesn’t get out as much as his blogging brethren (and he admits to reading their tweets with envy), Jason tries hard to make it to as many festivals, beer releases, and music/beer events as he can. Jason also seeks out live music, breweries and craft beer bars whenever he travel, whether it be for work or leisure. Make sure to visit his blog: http://pdxbrewtunes.blogspot.com/
Tyfanny DeGray
Tyffany DeGray, a native Oregonian was raised in Bend Oregon by a family of craft beer lovers and Drinking Mirror Pond Pale always came naturally to her. Tyffany has earned degrees in Art and Psychology but has always had a passion for craft beer. Tyffany is a BJCP-certified judge, loves living in the Pacific Northwest and is so happy to be a part of the amazing and always growing craft beer community that exists here. When not attending beer festivals or searching for the perfect saison, Tyffany is usually riding her bike around Portland or searching for new music or reading about architecture and design. Tyffany hopes to one day open the first sister owned brewery in Oregon with her sister Mallory and she now works for Double Mountain Brewing in Hood River.
Theo Skourtist
Theo Skourtis is a native Portlander raised in a Greek household. His love for craft beer was slow to blossom but has flourished in the past 10 years. While studying abroad in Italy in 2001, he learned how to drink and appreciate beers that were not macro lagers, growing fond of English and Belgian styles. In 2004, his love for microbrews flourished when he returned to Beervana from Corvallis after graduating Oregon State University (Go Beavs!) with a degree in Sociology and a focus on pre-law. After entering law school in 2006 at Lewis & Clark, he found that the stress of school required frequent trips to local brewpubs for a much-deserved beer. He can often be found at Belmont Station, Bailey’s Taproom and Hair of the Dog sipping the elixir of the gods. He also frequents Beeradvocate.com (screename:Skourtis) where he has helped to establish a community of beer lovers in Portland.
Sara Hancock
Sara Hancock resides in Beautiful British Columbia where she is delighted to be a part of an emergent and diverse craft beer community. In addition to enjoying the act of drinking beer she has a keen interest in all aspects of brewing from history, to science, to culture, to marketing and more – she blames her social science background for her nerdy devotion to learning about all aspects of craft beer.
Sara notes: I began my beer education by simply trying all the different styles I could find. The more I challenged my preconceptions the more my palate developed. At that point I wanted to delve a little deeper into the beer world by learning about proper serving, how to read labels, how to evaluate beer and how to brew at home.
I enjoy traveling throughout the Pacific North West visiting breweries, brewpubs and tap rooms in Washington, Oregon and of course, British Columbia. I enjoy pretty much all styles of beer but if pressed I am a sour beer, Belgian and dark beer (stout and porter) kind of gal.
The one thing I have grown to love almost as much as drinking a great beer is writing about beer culture. I want to put it all out there, to share what I know, to reveal what I don’t, and to learn from others in the process. Sláinte!

Mike Weksler
Mike Weksler is Brewpublic’s Bottler at Large, armed with nothing more than a mobile six head bottling machine and an iPhone with a camera. I moved to the PNW from the great state of Lousy-anna in 1996 and haven’t looked back. My first experience with craft beer was “boot legging” cases of Shiner Bock across the Tex-Ass/Lousy-anna while attending LSU. Go Tigers!
I like to brag that I once walked into a Korean grocery and purchased almost an entire case of Hitachino Nest for $1.25 a bottle. Score!! When I’m not traipsing all over the state of Oregon putting wonderfully delicious craft beer into 22oz bottles, I can be found on the coast with a surfboard or bicycling around town in search of that perfect beer that will take me back to childhood.
I feel fortunate to be a bottler in the sense that I get to experience a wide cast of interesting characters aka the brewers, and the concoctions that they make. Cheers!
Jen Sotolongo
Jen Sotolongo, a native Washingtonian, traded Seattle for Portland two years ago. In between living in the two Pacific Northwest cities, she also lived in Boston for school, Spain, Chile, and New Zealand for fun, and New York’s Hudson Valley to support her husband’s law school endeavors. It was during these adventures that Jen cultivated her love for beer. Early on in life, her father helped develop her taste for quality brews, as he encouraged her to take sips from his mug at the dinner table.
Jen has spent time working for environmental non-profits and is currently earning her MBA in Sustainable Systems from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute. She and her husband dream of returning to New Zealand (after getting their Portland fix) to open a brewery in Wellington.
You can find Jen running long distances through Portland’s great parks, making treks to the Gorge or coast on the weekends, or imbibing in a local brew, of course.
Jay Bar
Jason “Jay Bar” Butler Beer is an expression of art in the craftiest way and crosses cultural boundaries as much as any common bond. Like good food, good friends and good lovers; beer is something to be appreciated by the most particular of connoisseurs. Mostly though, beer made with attention and passion is great. Jay does not claim to be a connoisseur of beer, but he knows what he likes.
Growing up on Budweiser in almost every part of the country over the years, Jay was first introduced to craft brews in Monterey Bay, California at local jaunts with his neighbor. After moving to Portland in 2001, his appreciation for a good pale ale was indoctrinated courtesy of Deschutes Mirror Pond. Living in Portland, one can not help but be tempted by the plethora of variety presented in even the lowliest of dive bars to the brew festivals that happen several times a year in the NW. His favorite IPA changes all the time.
Jay has enjoyed discovering craft brews and local brews alike in many parts of the world. Whether it be a trip across the U.S. with Angelo, a pint and pizza with Aaron, or locally brewed malt in Bulgaria with Eastern European honeys – Jay enjoys variety in all forms. Although preferring the pale ale pours, he’ll try anything once….unless it comes in a plastic bottle. Noroc!
Sean White
Sean White was raised in the small college town of Athens, Ohio. He has been an all grain brewer for 8 years, as well as a BJCP certified judge and homebrew advocate. He has lived & worked as a cook in many places, including Glacier National Park, Big Sky & Bozeman Montana, Zion National Park in Utah, Santa Cruz, California, and Brooklyn, New York. Sean did his first internship for Sixpoint Craft Ales in Brooklyn in 2009, and in September he moved with his girlfriend, Clarissa to Portland Oregon. He started with a 5 month internship at Upright Brewing, and was hired by soon-to-be-licensed Breakside Brewing as a brewer. He is currently working for Green Bottling, a mobile bottling unit, and Alameda as a part-time brewer. Sean is incredibly stoked about the future and to finally be in the industry he feels he was meant for! He enjoys brewing all kinds of beers, but he especially likes to brew saison-type beers and wild & funky ales. He dreams of one day opening a true farmhouse brewery integrated with a small farm. Other than brewing (and drinking), he loves to rock climb, cook at home, work in the garden, and refer to himself in the 3rd person.
Tyler Kreis
Tyler Kreis Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved trying different foods. My dad once told me, “You’ll never know you’re going to hate it unless you try it.” So, I kept that same advice when it came to beer. I love trying different beers, and I haven’t found any that I hate. There’s so much time, work and energy that goes into making a beer – making each one a work of art. I want to share the liquid art with everyone and show them that there’s so much more than watered down beer out there waiting to be loved.

Hey Aaron!
Great site! I love my brewski’s! Here in Wisconsin there are too many micro brews to try out! One of our best is a Spotted Cow, from Capital Brew! So, if you can get your hands on a Spotted Cow, remember you have to eventually put it down!
Steve
Hope you all are having a very Beery Christmas.
Steve
Good to read about Doug and Christine’s new brewpub love grandma ferne
oh by the way beer is only good on a hot day at the drink-Wiskey drinkers rule.
Nice input to the CNN article! It highlights the NW specialties, your website, as well as your choices of brew pubs. I’d think that Hopworks should want to show alittle appreciation and give to you a few on-the-house. Their IPAs are nice. Congrats to you!
not a single native Oregonian among you.

I’m new to Portland and LOVE this website. THANK YOU for putting it together and helping me begin to understand the brewing scene here. This may be a bigger project than I imagine, but please consider adding a map that shows locations of pubs and breweries. I’m having a great time exploring…so many pubs, so little time
You rock. My thanks for doing such a good job. I’ll check again to find out more and tell my people about this website.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.Katy Roofing Contractor, 831 Comstock Springs Drive, #A, Katy, TX 77450 – (281) 829-8297
