Musings of a Curious Beer Drinker
Introductions
Greetings… my name is Jack Perdue and I began writing in the Deep Beer Journal (DBJ) back in February 2013. It was a way to document my journey to enjoying and understanding the great beers of the world, and the path getting there. The motto for these writings is Journey - Knowledge - Beer.
There is a keen focus on travel and the discovery of great beer, people and places, and the capricious discoveries along the way.
I am a first level Cicerone and am studying to advance that certification.
Since 2008, I also have been the “beer guy” at The Winery, a premium bottle shop for wine, beer and spirits on Kent Island, MD. There I am the purveyor of beer and keeper of the well stocked craft beer cooler. My focus is to provide the best beers available to customers. The Winery supports Maryland breweries and offers beer from more than 20 Maryland breweries.
Maryland Beer Focus
At Deep Beer Journal I share beer adventures but with a keen focus on Maryland craft breweries. Below is a quick guideline to navigate DBJ.
Journal — is about the news, commentary, plus places I have traveled in the quest for great beer. The main focus (but not only) is the breath of breweries around Maryland USA.
Atlas — displays a map of every brewery in Maryland
Events — provides a list of beer events and festivals across the state
Treks — presents a bite-sized list of breweries based on relative proximity
Opinions — is a place to share your voice about Maryland beer topics
Shop — is where patrons can purchase original beer apparel to support DBJ
Mid-Atlantic Brew News
Since mid-2019, I have been writing the Maryland column for the Mid-Atlantic Brew News. This allows me to meet many of Maryland’s amazing beer people and learn about how and why they pursue this thing we call craft beer.
