About Bierfesten

Bierfesten is a pseudonym that I came up with one day, and is German for Beer Festival. Berlin was where I had the first beer Berliner Weisse that made me stop and go WOW!  No I didn’t have it with that crap syrup.

Having lived globally all my life my true beer experiences started in Toronto Canada where I started hanging out with Beer Nerds @ Bar Volo on Yonge Street and it grew from there to the point when living in Vancouver I spent as many weekends in Seattle & Portland as I did in Canada. Beer is a passion that grew from Wine and I love both industries as much as the other.

I don’t work in Beer, nor do i have any investments in the industry. I solely use my own judgement to analyze and provide my own insight. I have traveled extensively and use my own guide as what is good or bad. I don’t RATE beer, nor write Reviews on Beer Websites, as every beer experience is different to the next.

Currently Lives: Sydney Australia

Cities Lived: Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Hong Kong, Canberra!!

Best Beer Cities: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco

Favorite Beers: Speakeasy Double Daddy, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Alesmith Imperial Stout.

Strangest Drinking Experience: Losing track of time while drinking at Toronado in San Fran and missing my Flight back to Australia. Though funny now, it was an expensive mistake!

Why No Photos of Bierfesten?:  I do exist but like to keep my identity anonymous, and honestly who wants to see more photos of fat beer drinkers. There is a term Photogenic & Unphotogenic.. I’m the latter..

I’m happy to discuss Craft Beer for any articles or interviews. I do not believe in bad mouthing any small or large brewer but talking about the trends as I see them playing out.
