Welcome to Beer Travelers, your ultimate guide to the world of flavorful experiences! We’re Ami and David, the duo behind this blog, and we’re thrilled to have you join us on our journey of discovering the finest brews, delectable cuisines, and unforgettable adventures from around the globe.

Our story began on a beach in Florida back in 2008, where serendipity brought together two nerds united by their passion for exploration and a shared love for fermentation science. Little did we know that this chance encounter would set us on a path of wanderlust and discovery that has spanned over a decade and taken us to the far corners of the Earth.

Ami, a dedicated microbiologist and an Advanced Cicerone, has an unparalleled understanding of the intricate dance between yeast, hops, water, and malt. Her palate is finely tuned to detect the subtlest of flavors, making her an expert in identifying and savoring the nuances of each beer she encounters. Her expertise adds a unique dimension to our travels, as she guides us through the intricacies of regional brewing techniques, highlighting the stories and cultures that contribute to each pint.

David, a spectroscopist by trade and a devoted beer enthusiast, brings a scientific curiosity to our adventures. David’s knack for uncovering the hidden gems in any destination ensures that our expeditions go beyond the obvious, uncovering hidden brewpubs, hole-in-the-wall eateries, and off-the-beaten-path landmarks.

Together, we’ve set foot in 55 countries and explored 44 states, with countless memories and tales gathered along the way. Our shared love for the adventure has guided us through bustling city streets, tranquil countrysides, and remote villages, as we search for that perfect pint that encapsulates the essence of a place. Whether it’s sipping a rich stout in a traditional Irish pub, enjoying a refreshing lager on a remote beach, or relishing whatever the newest version of an IPA is in a vibrant American city, every beer tells a story, and we’re here to share those stories with you.

Beer Travelers is more than a blog; it’s a celebration of the beauty that lies in every corner of the world and the universal language of beer that brings people together. Join us as we continue to chase after the next adventure, seeking out new flavors, forging connections with fellow enthusiasts, and weaving our journey into a tapestry of tastes, sights, and memories. So, raise your glass and embark on this exhilarating expedition with us – because when it comes to beer, food, and fun, the world is our oyster, and every destination is a new chapter waiting to be written.

Cheers to the journey ahead!

Ami & David
