Chief Beer Officer Scott Kerkmans

Scott Kerkmans, The Four Points by Sheraton Chief Beer Officer, was in town last week attending a number of conferences and I managed to steal some of his time to conduct an interview for the summer issue of TAPS.

Let me tell you, this guy has an amazing job - touring Four Points international locations promoting the Best Brews Program that the hotel chain has initiated. He also gets to create beer menu's, judge in competitions, write about the industry, host beer dinners, educate staff and servers, and so much more.

Kerkmans had a busy week here, doing interviews, taking part in beer dinners, and appearing on Canada AM where he pimped out a number of craft beer, including Great Lakes, Steam Whistle, Unibroue, Mill Street, and Trafalgar. Click on Canada AM to view the footage.

I know it's a long time away, but look for my interview with Kerkmans in the summer issue of the magazine.
