Just finished up a blog post for Beer Connoisseur magazine. I interviewed Ramon Gutierrez, beer specialist/buyer for the Los Altos Whole Foods Market. We spoke about his beginnings in craft beer, his experience at the infamous Sierra Nevada “Beer Camp” and what went into making the resulting collaboration beer Juniper Black Ale.
You can read all about it on Beer Connoisseur at this link.
Note: There were a bunch of pictures that were supposed to have been posted as well but BC is having some technical issues and they’re not up. Hopefully they’ll post them soon.

Nice interview, and interesting to see how the pros think when formulating a beer.
