1. Favorite competition beer?

Budweiser. It has absolutely zero personality as a beer (which is necessary for the beer mile) and goes down smooth.

 

2. Favorite non-competition beer?

The Lone Pint Brewery Yellow Rose (American IPA). Opposite to Budweiser, this beer packs tons of personality, and a citrus-forward hoppy bitterness that is incredibly refreshing. I visited the tiny brewery recently in Magnolia, Texas—it's literally in the middle of nowhere!

 

3. Why beer mile?

I've been running beer miles since college. It actually started as an end of season celebration with my track teammates. The way we saw it, after months of hard training it was always a blast to compete in something a little less serious. It's always had a special meaning for me because of that. Additionally, the beer mile combines two things I love—running and beer into one utterly ridiculous competition. 

 

4. What's your occupation?

I work in event planning for the James Beard Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating America's culinary heritage through educational programs and food-centered events. Basically, I get to work with top chefs from all over the country!

 

5. Goal for the FloTrack Beer Mile World Championships?

Race smart and beat my time from last year, and have fun! That's what the beer mile is all about!
