Happy Birthday Mr. Engman

Rob Engman, the owner/publisher of TAPS: Canada's Beer Magazine, is celebrating a birthday today. I met Engman for the first time just over two years ago at a dockside eatery in Gravenhurst to discuss my future role with the magazine and my involvement with the Canadian Brewing Awards.

Engman laid out his plans for the re-vamping of the magazine and I was immediately hooked. After purchasing the rights to TAPS, Engman decided to strip it down, bring in new writers and new staff and make sure that the focus was strictly on beer; something the previous magazine severely neglected. Since then Engman and I have become good friends and I am very thankful for him bringing me onboard.

Happy Birthday Rob!
