Hi There. My name is Luke and I run BlogAboutBeer.com. I'm a 25 year old graduate of Clark University living in the great beer city of Portland, Maine. I'm also a freelance writer, Internet marketer, and social media nut. Oh and the beer, there's always the beer. It's a pretty safe bet that I'm usually either drinking or homebrewing a great craft beer.
Anheuser-Busch?!
