While traveling around Germany in 2006, GT fell in love with his first beer, Franziskaner Weissbier. Since that time, he's been on the hunt for the best beers in the world reviewing more than 10,000 beers on Ratebeer.com. GT finds himself gravitating more towards session beers, especially pilsners, these days. He has volunteered with De Struise Brouwers in Belgium and is a BJCP certified beer judge. He currently lives in San Diego with his wife, two cats, and dog Renly, First of His Name.
