Seth Levy is a beer writer and outdoor enthusiast based in Portland, Maine. His passion for craft beer began with a 6th grade-science project exploring fermentation. The results of the experiment mysteriously disappeared with the science fair judges and a good grade was forthcoming. His brewing and tasting skills have sharpened in the years since, but his enthusiasm for trying new flavors and his sheer amazement of the wonder of fermentation have remained constant.
