My name is George — a journalist by training, bike business owner by trade, and also an amateur cider maker, home chef, and folk musician. If I’ve left something out, it’s probably another passion we already share — since you’ve found your way to this website: beer.
It’s been my favorite drink ever since I discovered it growing up in Bavaria, not far from Bamberg — often called Germany’s beer capital. Whether by chance or fate, the year I moved to Prague — 1994 — was also the year the Czech Republic overtook Germany in beer consumption per capita. I was hired then as the local editor for a German-language weekly and never really looked back.
31 years on, I still write — mostly songs and poems these days — having left journalism behind for more pleasurable pursuits. Guiding beer tours brings many of my interests together: storytelling, culture, local food and drink, and meeting people from all over the world. It’s a real joy to share this city — and its pub culture — with those curious enough to look past the surface.
