Dan Martich
Beer Judge
Drawn to craft beer by the Sam Adams radio spots that aired in the early 90s. He's been homebrewing for 20 years, and a BJCP judge for seven. Dan calls himself the "beer hound" because finding good beer on his travels is what makes his tail wag.

He is an exam grader for the BJCP, and most recently spent a week in Germany to educate himself on Altbier in Dusseldorf, and Kolsch beer in Koln.
