Who is Dr. Beer Love?

We are Al and John Eklund, father and son, and fellow beer questers who happen to love beer. We are on a journey to find the perfect beer, knowing full well the destination will never be reached. And we are okay with that as long as it means we get to keep trying beers. After all it's about the journey, not the destination. And our journey will take us all over the globe, not just physically, but vicariously through the bottles we pour from.

Our ratings are both non-scientific and non-standard. If we like a beer, we rate it highly and will try to describe why. We reserve the right to change our minds as our palates evolve and will admit that it sometimes takes more than one tasting of a beer to fully appreciate it, unless of course it's a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, which is so awful it's almost medicinal.

Who's to say where our love of beer comes from? Perhaps our ancestors from Europe have left the lust inside our DNA, meaning we can consume all the beer in the world, but never tire of it. Perhaps it's the fact that beer gets a bad rap, although there are almost as many beers as wines, and with just as much complexity. Whatever the cause, we know one thing - we'll go beyond your usual American Buds and Millers and Coors - we're on a quest here and we've got to tour the world, one bottle at a time. So open your eyes and your mind and learn to love beer - we won't guide you wrong.
