What is your “official” position with Nebraska Brewing?

Social Media Maven, Special Events Coordinator and Brewers Wife! The cool thing about NBC is that it’s a family affair, and they’ve made me feel part of the family since the beginning!

What is your favorite beer from Nebraska Brewing?

Depends on my mood, but my regular go to beers are; Romancing the Cone IPA, or Cardinal Pale Ale; I really am a hop head! If I am in the mood for a real treat, maybe the Apricot au Poivre Saison!

What is your favorite beer and food pairing?

Again, I am kind of a schizophrenic here; if I am in my sweats I want Neapolitan pizza and Stout! Recently we did a beer dinner with a local restaurant, The Grey Plume (focus on sourcing all local ingredients and is the nation’s greenest restaurant!), and the 3rd course was Mélange a Trois and Steel-head Trout w/ Candied Orange….That pairing just blew my mind!

If you were a style of beer, what would you be and why?

An American Brown! Not quite as aggressive as an IPA, but still kinda rough, nutty and spicy …that and I think it’s an under-appreciated style, just like me!

And last but not least, what does craft beer mean to you?

Wow, I think I can honestly say that it’s the people that make Craft Beer such a big part of my life, the people and what they can create!!!
As I mentioned before the environment at NBC feels like family, and I realized very quickly that the Craft Beer community is the same! Being this passionate about something as cool as Craft Beer, I couldn’t luckier!

If there is anything better than the amazing award-winning beer at Nebraska Brewing, it is their amazing and talented people. One such gem, is the ever lovely Angela Arp — and I’m very honored and lucky to be her friend in person as well as follow her adventures on Twitter! CHEERS!
