We are getting close on the series from High 5 Brewing Co-op. This week’s QoN is with Eric Pell. If you haven’t been following the series so far, the group for High 5 are attempting to do something unheard of in Michigan. They are working to build a brewing co-op. At this time there is only one other brewing co-op in the US (in Texas). The first QoN with Megan E. Smith can be found here. The second QoN can be found here.
Now that you are up to speed, lets spend a few minutes with Eric Pell.
5 Questions of note and 1 lame one
1. What was the beer moment, when you knew you wanted to become involved with the craft beer renaissance?
When I brewed my first beer and it didn’t suck. I was hooked!
2. If you could have any drink in your hand right now, what would it be?
I’d really like to try Founder’s CBS so that’s my choice for now.
3. Can you describe your beer life in a song lyric/title? If so what would you choose?
Heh, nope. I’m not that creative.
4. Do you have a steady beer, or do you like to “play the field?”
If I’m at a bar with a limited selection I’ll pick something local. At least most in the West Michigan area have a Founders or Bells brew on tap. If I’m somewhere with a larger selection I’ll try as many different beers I haven’t had before.
5. Crowded smoky bar or back porch watching the clouds float across the sky?
I don’t like your typical crowded “smoky bar” but if it’s a cool place with open space I’m happy to slug some brews with friends.
And the lame one…
Who put the bomp in the bomp sha-bomp sha-bomp?
That is a very private and personal question. I’m embarrassed by you asking such a thing…
Time for a pint…
It is always so fun to see how they answer your questions. I like that he had a since of adventure and does mind trying something new. 🙂
Great answer to the "bomp sha-bomp" question!
Every once in a while I get someone who comes up with a great smart assery answer that makes me laugh.
I like that it is becoming common to find the people that love beer are more apt to have a spirit of adventure and explore all the different beers out there.
Love that last one! LOL
Eventually I am going to have to break down and listen to that song since it's always in the back of my mind thanks to your interview posts.
My work here is done.
