The Beer Connoisseur Magazine's Debut Issue Arrives -
Beer lovers have a reason to celebrate early this season, as the inaugural issue of the highly anticipated new Beer Connoisseur Magazine hit newsstands nationwide on December 8. The magazine, which is based in Atlanta, represents a new level of beer journalism, a guide for both novices and experts to the world's most popular drink.
The first issue of the quarterly was mailed to subscribers in mid-November, and next week it will be available for purchase in major cities throughout the U.S. at bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million and others. It can also be found at the more than 120 Kroger grocery stores in the Atlanta metro area and at U.S. military bases around the world.
"We have produced a type of title that hasn't existed for this segment," says Lynn Davis, the magazine's Founder and Publisher. Following the rise of the craft beer movement, which has attracted interest from legions of newcomers, The Beer Connoisseur stands apart from the pack as a sophisticated, upscale lifestyle magazine that treats beer, its producers and, of course, its admirers with the kind of respect they now demand.
"The response from both within the industry and among beer lovers has been nothing short of awe inspiring," says Nick Kaye, the Managing Editor. "It seems that brewers and beer lovers alike have been waiting for a publication like The Beer Connoisseur to come along."
The magazine will focus on the marriage of beer and food, with articles in the first issue on the rise of the gastropub trend, beer and cheese pairing, and more, as well as travel, both within the U.S. and abroad. It will also include profiles of brewing icons, and there will be reviews of some of the most sought-after beers in the world conducted by master-level judges. Owen Ogletree runs the southeastern beer review section of each issue.
Readers will also find articles by some of the world's most accomplished beer writers, as well as a wealth of educational resources, at The Beer Connoisseur Online (www.beerconnoisseur.com), which launched last summer. The thriving online community allows beer fans to exchange ideas and stay connected, and it keeps them up to date with the latest happenings in the brewing scene.
