Ray
Daniels, Director of the Cicerone Certification Program
in Chicago, has traveled the world studying beer, developing a taste
for everything from the delicately pale pseudo-ales of Cologne and
quaffable "ordinaries" of London to the hugely smokey
Marzens of Bamberg and the funk-infused barrel-aged blends of Brussels.
At the same time he has made a career writing and talking about
beer — often by creating events and activities that draw dedicated
beer lovers into communion over their favorite brews.
