Our goal is to help liberate libators from the drab grog and to diversify the palate. Our focus is primarily craft and global beer of all genres.
Join us as we salute the brew (r)evolution from Beervana - Portland, Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and everywhere Brewpublicans reside in the vast Brewniverse
Brewpublic is beer for thought. Lets drink to our inalienable right to malt, yeast and the pursuit of hoppiness. One nation under grog!
BIOS
Angelo De Ieso II comes from the great Northeast where he spent most of his formative years in Central Maine after being born in Massachusetts. His first experience with craft brewing came from Samuel Adams, Shipyard, Geary’s, and a few other imports like Samuel Smiths and (gulp) Guinness. In 1996 he moved to the Bay Area and discovered Lagunita’s, Mendocino, Anchor, and others that changed his palate forever (there was always a few Henry Weinhards to go around, too). Since 1998, Angelo has lived and quaffed in Portland, Oregon where his friend Shane introduced him to several delicious flavors from Deschutes to Spaten, Full Sail to Hair of the Dog. In 2005, Angelo graduated from Portland State University with a degree in communication and a deeper love for craft beers. Angelo met Aaron, his partner in crime at Brewpublic, at KPSU, Portland State’s radio station, where the two were staff members and DJs. Today Angelo experiments with zany homebrew recipes with his girlfriend Margaret, who he has been with since 2002. He has been an active correspondent for the Portland Tribune’s Guest on Tap column, LivePDX.com, and has been featured in publications such as Beer Northwest and PDX Magazine. Angelo also has a great interest in independent music, and has been a booker and organizer for shows around the Portland under the name Pop Tomorrow! His friend Ezra Johnson-Greenough shares a lot of similar interests and has been a big inspiration to Angelo in both music and beer. Angelo garnered much knowledge regarding beer from his experiences working at Belmont Station, Pyramid Brewing, and By the Bottle, where he works for his dear friends David and Arlene Nunez. His active participation on Ratebeer.com has also introduced him to several new and interesting beer genres. It is Angelo’s mission to bring “infotainment” and “edumation” to the readers of this website. If you have any questions or comments, or would like to contribute, please contact him. Prost! angelo@brewpublic.com
I enjoy the good beer. And building Brewpublics in Beervana. Here’s the story: one morning I noticed my old pal, and partner in various enterprising efforts, Mr. De Ieso 2, was writing up a full barrel worth of quality beer journalism every ten minutes or so - but it was spread across many outlets. So as we enjoyed a nice Belgian this summer, I say to him, “Let’s build a Brewpublic together, it will be vast, noble and just. It will be spread across the ample bosom of the Internets. And we will not be thirsty.” Fortunately I knew a few things about the Internets. In addition to various media labors of love, I spend days working on a green marketing team embedded within an environmental consulting firm. The site is up, constantly changing and improving and now here we are, growing a tasty Brewpublic thanks to the wonderful readers and Beer culture here in Beervana. Cheers!

I love checking this website everyday to see what’s new. How refreshing. When most websites are stale, Brewpublic is always fresh and exciting. Keep up the good work.

I hope Portland knows how lucky it is to have this website. Wish we had one here in St. Paul. But, then we wish we had all the good brews here too. Love to visit PDX.A true brew adventure.

Hey Aaron!
Great site! I love my brewski’s! Here in Wisconsin there are too many micro brews to try out! One of our best is a Spotted Cow, from Capital Brew! So, if you can get your hands on a Spotted Cow, remember you have to eventually put it down!
Steve
Hope you all are having a very Beery Christmas.
