- Ideal food/beer pairing:V Saison withcana de oveja cheese
- Ultimate way to enjoy a Victory brew:A tall Sunrise Weiss after a cycling a summer day away
- Life outside of VBC:There IS a life outside of Victory? Right, that is the great time I spend with my lovely daughters acting silly.

- Favorite VBC beer - I heart all of our Pilsners (Prima, Harvest or Braumeister!) or a Storm King, yummy dark hoppy love.
- First (or favorite) beer memory – My first day at an internship at Ernest August Brauhaus in Hannover, Germany. I unfortunately don’t speak the German language. However, I quickly realized that there is no language barrier amongst brewers…especially when they offer you a pilsner at seven in the morning! We were taste testing for the customers that would be drinking the beer that same afternoon; ah it’s a tough life being a brewer!
- Ideal food/beer pairing:Any kind of cheese & saison; prime rib & porter; scallops & triple; chicken pesto salad & pilsner – so many choices, too little time to experience them all! Clearly, I didn’t include all of the choices.
- Ultimate way to enjoy a VBC: Sitting on the porch gathered around family and/or friends – chatting about the nuances of life…or something of the sort.
- Life outside of VBC: Cooking with my husband, expanding my brewing knowledge, skiing, dosing our cats with catnip and making them chase a laser beam (serious entertainment), traveling (anywhere), exploring the outdoors.
