And the N

I guess that makes me Nathan, the N of N/A brews. After the Zeno's Passport (which I finished faster then Andrew) I felt like a blind guy in a new hallway; lost and confused. I knew the there were walls, a floor, and a ceiling, but didn't know where it started, ended, where the doors were, and more importantly, where the doors led. I had to figure it out or quit and find a new hallway to explore. But of course, Andrew and I chose to grow and experience the world of beer and this led us to create our own version of the passport (an on-going collective list of beers we have tried) and eventually, this blog. This blog is, for me, a way to collect and document my beer growth and knowledge and allow other people to add input, knowledge, and correct my mistakes and misconceptions... cause I'm sure I have a lot.

Introduction to the A

So, I'm Andrew, the A of N/A Brews. My love affair with beer began in my senior year at Penn State, all thanks to Zeno's Pub. See, Zeno's has this thing called the Passport (a.k.a. 80 Beers Around the World). Though I was tentative at first about starting the passport (due mainly to the massive amounts of money that it would cost me) I gave in and was immediately hooked. I quickly grew from a kid who looked forward to the occasional Yuengling (and don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for Yuengling) to one who savored the banana undertones of an Orval. After I finished my passport (which I did BEFORE Nate) my enjoyment and enthusiasm for great beer only continued to grow. Atlanta is now my new home base for tasting, enjoying and learning more about beer, but this blog serves as my connection to my Brew-Bro, (just made that one up. Its pretty catchy, eh? granted, it might be kinda gay too...) Nate, so that we can expand our understanding of beer.
