Izzy Stradlin.

If you're a man and you don't like Izzy - you're just not cool.

Or he banged your chick.

Or both.

Probably both.

And if you're a woman who doesn't like Izzy - thank you.

There are too many of us.

He doesn't need you.

TOEFL VS IELTS

First some context concerning the TEFL/ESL/TESOL labour market to believe. The marketplace for English language learning within the world is booming. Compare the planet currently thereupon of twenty years past. Communism in Russia and jap Europe is in its death throes, China is starting the transition to capitalist economy, South America is rising from a decade of turmoil and despotism, the EC is deciding to become the eu Union, the net and email is in its infancy, however increasing speedily. of these international changes since then have unleashed the force of English as a worldwide language and it's important to grasp that there area unit billions of greenbacks spent on learning it per annum. it is time to bring a number of those greenbacks your approach.

Yet why once there area unit billions of greenbacks spent on English learning per annum, do jobs still advertise solely one thousand US greenback salaries a month? Well, sadly the labour marketplace for TEFL/ESL/TESOL attracts individuals from Western countries UN agency, due to their want to measure abroad, area unit happy to measure on nothing. The economic reality is that wages in TEFL/ESL/TESOL area unit dragged down as a result. the key to high TEFL/ESL salaries area unit knowing the native English learning labour market. simply follow these eight techniques to land yourself a moneymaking, extremely paid job teaching English.

1. Get Qualified

In the provide of and demand for English lecturers, teaching qualifications are getting the rule, not the exception. TOEFL VS IELTS  to square an opportunity of obtaining employment, in addition to a high wage, you have got to take a position the time and cash into obtaining qualified. Entry level TEFL/ESL qualifications comprise basically of the Cambridge CELTA/CertTESOL. These area unit month-long coaching courses that value around $1500-2000. By 2009, it's clear that the CELTA is changing into the business norm. This course is warrant finance in, not solely as a result of it'll teach you the way to show, however employers currently expect it.

To get a wage raise from CELTA/CertTESOL aim to realize the highest grade the course offers. In CELTA this is often a pass B, followed by a pass A, whereas the CertTESOL doesn't formally award grades. Achieving on top of an easy pass shows you are a competent teacher and you're dedicated to the profession. this could be mirrored during a company's pay scales or will be utilized by you to barter a better wage. so it's important to require these coaching courses seriously and prepare comprehensively for them.

Do not even think about doing a web or distance teaching course. These area unit a poor investment of your cash and area unit pass by unscrupulous organisations keen to govern people's fears of finance plenty of cash in a chic course like CELTA/CertTESOL. however why throw $500-1000 at a course that no faculty can recognise, let a lone provide you with pay-related credit for? For CELTA/CertTESOL qualified lecturers, think about raising your wage through additional qualifications. Once you have got gained 2 years expertise think about finance within the next level diplomas - these area unit the Cambridge DELTA/DipTESOL severally. whereas each courses need an excellent larger investment in terms after all prices, you'll be rewarded by being eligible for promotion to a job like DOS/ADOS, with comprehensive pay advantages.

2. select Your Country sagely

Study the marketplace for English learning terribly rigorously. whereas the sound of a brilliant-white sandy beach about to a college in Asian country will sound tempting, bear in mind that it's additionally tempting for thousands of others and this may be mirrored during a low wage. think about the execs and cons of the subsequent TEFL/ESL/TESOL countries;

Western Europe - supply high salaries with (usually) high prices of living. a number of the most effective TEFL salaries will be found in France, Germany, the united kingdom (summer schools), giving EUR2000+ a month, whereas additional south, salaries area unit drastically lower (only EUR1000+ a month). Eastern Europe and Russia - presently experiencing a TEFL boom with provide of lecturers considerably below demand. Salaries on par with southern Europe already, with individuals having a way a lot of dedicated work ethic. The marketplace for non-public students in Russia is especially moneymaking. The Middle East - salaries area unit still riding high on the rear of oil, with a number of the most effective high salary/low tax deals. value of living is additionally terribly low, with several very good amenities provided in Saudi, UAE and Muscat and Oman. Teacher freedom and happiness may be a major issue, however. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, urban center and Singapore - high salaries combined with an inexpensive normal of living. Long hours area unit the norm, however saving thousands of greenbacks a year may be a realistic goal. South East Asia and China - experiencing a TEFL/ESL boom finally, however this has not been matched with corresponding high salaries. The cities supply the most effective opportunities. Expect massive will increase within the future as markets mature. South America - not an area to travel if you wish a high TEFL wage. Currency instabilities combined with market immaturities mean that this is often a risky place to line yourself up. Brazil offers the most effective opportunities for serious cash creating.

3. the duty Search

Do not apply for jobs on-line through sites like TEFL.com/Dave's ESL restaurant  if you're serious concerning creating cash. the most effective job deals area unit rarely on-line - it's much better to be proactive and travel your most well-liked destination and conduct the duty search on the bottom. this is often helpful for many reasons. Firstly, you'll be able to apply to a spread of employers and cherry decide the most effective deal. Secondly, you'll be able to discuss yourself higher terms and conditions by being instantly out there. Thirdly, you'll be able to examine the place and language colleges to induce a thought of whether or not you will love it there. Forthly, you'll be able to scan the marketplace for non-public students to examine however moneymaking it's. If you're petrified of travel way due to the danger, think about this; most cash creating needs risk (stocks, shares, property etc). this is often no totally different.

4. select a school terribly rigorously

Do not be desperate and go running to massive company language chains like English 1st, International House, Language Link etc. Such colleges supply miserable salaries relative to alternative native professions. what number times does one see massive TEFL/ESL colleges advertise salaries online? they do not as a result of they're thus low. they need a high turnover of workers, and like lecturers with no/little expertise thus salaries area unit unbroken at a minimum. instead of living through tutorial quality, they like better to profit on their logo/brand perceptions. Instead, scan the native TEFL/ESL market terribly rigorously thus you understand however it works and the way you'll be able to create it add your favour. whereas the massive chains appear dominant, there area unit typically a myriad of smaller, better-run, a lot of skilled outfits that area unit trying to find lecturers. Often, they recruit regionally from the expat community, therefore their lack of presence on-line.

5. Get your own pack of personal students

Once you have got established yourself during a non-public school in your country of alternative, create a trial to induce a number of non-public students weekly. reckoning on the native provide and demand of lecturers, you'll be able to charge what you wish. non-public student rates area unit nearly invariably considerably beyond faculty rates. If you're quality, word of mouth typically spreads terribly quickly, and you'll have a lot of privates on your hands than you'll be able to handle. Keep the foremost profitable ones and expend with unreliable, poorly paying ones. you do not invariably need to be well-established during a native faculty. If you have got simply arrived somewhere, merely get out there and advertise.

To make the foremost out of personal students, think about running them as micro-classes with 2 to 3 students gift. Not solely can this be a lot of fascinating for you because the teacher, you'll be able to grade the costs thus every student pays less on an individual basis, however as a full contribute over one student. Also, think about teaching non-public in-company categories as they will be far better paying. Approach corporations together with your credentials and supply to show them in their lunch break for many weeks. create (achievable) guarantees to whoever is organising in-company English categories, so that they will see however effective you're as a tutor.

6. Be Entrepreneurial

Do not consider your job being your sole supply of revenue. change thus you have got alternative means that of transferral home cash through TEFL/ESL. you have got most likely already created quite an few room handouts. create them look skilled and approach the massive 3 publishers; Pearson Longman, university Press and Cambridge Press. albeit they do not {want|they refuse} your concepts they'll want you to try and do alternative moneymaking work for them. instead, if publishers aren't your factor, think about merchandising your handouts on-line. all over lecturers want resources and also the on-line marketplace for TEFL/ESL supplementary handouts is in its infancy.

7. Get Promoted

Teachers of English area unit typically astounded to listen to the right smart pay gaps between themselves and their superiors, ADOSs and bed down. If you're in TEFL/ESL for the long-term, gain a lot of expertise and qualifications to get up the career ladder. The perks area unit typically great; extra money clearly, higher operating hours and conditions, an organization automotive even. If you discover yourself during a company with no apparent system for promotions; get out. don't invest your precious time and energy during a company that won't progressing to reward you.

8. Expand your teaching expertise through test courses like CAE, FCE, TOEFL, and IELTS  TOEFL

To many individuals, learning English is solely a matter of passing AN test therefore the next stage in their lives will be unbarred. The Cambridge exams, in conjunction with IELTS and TOEFL supply individuals a standardised level that they have to bring home the bacon so as to figure and study abroad. Gain expertise teaching these area unitas primarily as a result of students are extremely intended to pass such exams. this is often mirrored in however you'll be compensated. If you have got decent expertise apply to become AN examiner for one amongst these exams. you'll be compensated well ANd incline an insight into the examinations method, that students are going to be willing to pay over the percentages for.

C.C. STORM Releases Official Lyric Video for "Cross"

Las Vegas based multi-instrumentalist C.C. STORM has released the official lyric video for his single, “Cross.” Fully written, composed, vocalized, and instrumentalized by C.C. STORM, “Cross” is off of the artist’s debut album, Passionately Angry, which is available NOW via Psycho Records.

“‘Cross’ is about giving your everything to one person but they can never see the harm they return back to you. You keep giving your best and sometimes, it’s hard to walk away when you believe the person will change. It’s almost the definition of insanity. You keep repeating the same mistake over and over expecting a different result. It never happens.” – C.C. STORM

Track List: 1. Cross 2. Silence in the Silent Scream 3. So I Am over You 4. Different Light 5. Audio-Videp (Catch Me When I Fall) 6. Shatter Me (feat. Wendy Rush) 7 Sin 8. Mademoiselle

Download / Stream Passionately Angry Online: iTunes | Spotify | Amazon | Deezer

Las Vegas transplant, C.C. Storm, launches his debut solo effort, Passionately Angry from local label, Psycho Records.

Storm hails from his native Pocono Mountains, and moved to Las Vegas in 2010. Storm has been playing since 1982 and studied at the prestigious Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. He has been long sought after in various bands due to his knowledge of being able to play intricate parts and being able to sing at the same time. Storm cites KISS as his biggest influence musically but even he says his styles vary.

After taking a long break in the 90’s and in the early 2000’s, Storm returned to his passion when he decided to move to Las Vegas in 2010. After a rough start and a marriage separation, Storm returned to the stage on a fluke one night after being invited to “KISS KARAOKE” at the world famous Monster Mini-Golf featuring KISS. Stepping up to the microphone with his bass in hand, Storm belted out many KISS Classics which garnered the attention of musicians like Armored Saints’ Jeff Duncan and Sunset Strip legend Johnny Lust. Singing Paul Stanley is not an easy task, but after years of studying the Starchild, C.C. nailed it.

Deciding for himself using his real first name wasn’t going to cut it, he decided to change his name to C.C., where he then began to work on his first solo album at his long time friend owned Chase Music Studio. Studio owner, Dave Chase, began to hone and shape his sound delivering what was a sudden shock to the local musician scene. Within a few weeks of its initial release, “Cross” was gaining attention amongst the local rock radio scene. Former Faster Pussycat guitarist, Brent Muscat, was spinning it on his radio show regularly.

C.C. is currently recording the follow up to Passionately Angry which will be titled, Rise The Horizon, which will be released by mid 2021.

Sweet you rock and sweet you roll. ~ Crash Into Me, Dave Matthews Band #EmmaErinSandiego #BabyKarMa2016 😜😛🤘🏼 (at MBD Muscat)

[040today-blog]

Four new cars (from three teams) unveiled in Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

We have had a busy 24 hours with Garry Rogers, Erebus and Prodrive lifting the garage door on this seasons new paintjobs.

First up at Erebus Motorsport and Betty Klimenko has revealed the liveries and co-drivers for the upcoming seasons Holdens.

David Reynolds and new recruit Dale Wood will be joined by Luke Youlden and Chris Pither respectively for the Pirtek Enduro Cup. Reynolds’ new car is the first Holden to have been built by Erebus, replacing the ex-Walkinshaw chassis that he raced last year. Youlden joins Erebus after being shuffled out of DJR Team Penske, ending his four-year association with Fabian Coulthard.

"Coming from the dark side back to the red team, I’m really looking forward to getting back in a Holden. I am hoping this car suits my natural driving style, and I know Dave is quite aggressive, so I’m looking forward to seeing if I can match him and move up the field together."  -- Luke Youlden - New boy at Erebus

Erebus’ second entry has been renumbered from #4 to #99 in line with the arrival of Wood and his backers GB Galvanizing.

Wood and Pither reunite at Erebus after driving together at Brad Jones Racing in 2014. Pither returns to a co-driver role after a single season as a full-time driver with Super Black Racing in 2016.

"I’m really excited to pair with Dale again, and to be part of Erebus for the first time is also exciting and Sandown can’t come around quick enough."  -- Chris Pither - Dale's new co-driver (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Over at GRM the covers have been taken off the new Holden Commodores Garth Tander and James Moffat will race in this year’s Championship. Wilson Security, PAYCE and Valvoline continue as the squad’s primary sponsors as it transitions from factory Volvo team to privateer Holden runners.

The co-drivers for the Enduros have also been announced with Dunlop Super2 Series driver Richard Muscat confirmed as James Moffat’s co-driver for Sandown, Bathurst and the Gold Coast, adding to his Super2 commitments with the team.

GRM has also announced that James Golding, who teamed with Moffat last year, is set to drive alongside Garth Tander.

"I am really, really pleased to have Garth back at GRM to hopefully finish his career where it all began. 2017 sees GRM’s return to racing Holdens. Of course I am disappointed that we couldn’t find a resolution with Volvo that would see us race the S60 and this disappointment is more for my people who put so much time and effort to design and build such a competitive car."  -- Garry Rogers

GRM’s Commodores will hit the track for the first time at Sydney Motorsport Park on Tuesday

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Finaly Supercars veteran Jason Bright has taken the wraps off his #56 MEGA Ford Falcon ahead of his racing return for Prodrive Racing (Australia).

Bright unveiled the new look alongside new co-driver, 2016 Dunlop Super2 Series winner, Garry Jacobson. After seven years in Brad Jones Racing Holdens, Bright drove Jacobson's Super2 FG X Falcon at the end of 2016 in preparation for the new season.

"The car looks fantastic, the front of the car looks quite aggressive and should stand out on the track. The colours of the MEGA Fuels logo makes for a great race livery.""  -- Jason Bright

Well at least they are not all black and red like the rest of the grid...

9 Brewery Couples On Their Strong Relationships and Successful Breweries

Dave & Quynh Rathkamp of Texas’s Save the World Brewing. (Credit: Save the World Brewing)

February 10, 2017

People often warn you should never mix business life with personal life, but we found brewery couples who are breaking those rules, and having success building strong breweries and strong relationships.

We talked to nine brewery couples to hear how they met — and perhaps, more importantly — share the perks, and the pains, of running a small business together.

Sarah & Justin Brigham | Sycamore Brewing Co. | Charlotte, NC

Role in the brewery: Co-owners

Together: 11 years

How did you meet: I’m originally from Bermuda and was back home from college on summer break working as a Jet Ski tour guide. Justin was working on a catamaran at the time. We met on a dock at the end of the day. I was refueling the jet skis, and Justin was washing down the boat. We exchanged a few smiles and have been together ever since.

First date: Our first date was the night we met. My friend’s band, “Home Grown,” was playing at a local bar. I gave Justin tickets and insisted that he come.

What inspired you to open a brewery together: We wanted to create and produce something that would make people happy.

How has working together impacted your relationship: It’s made us respect each other even more.

What is one thing you’ve learned about each other by working together: No business talk until after coffee.

What is the most memorable beer you’ve shared together: Drinking our lager after medaling in the lager category at GABF. Such a high!

Kristin & Ryan Scott | Odd 13 Brewing | Lafayette, CO

Role in the brewery: Ryan is the owner and “head of everything” and Kristin is the owner and head of sales.

Kristen & Ryan Scott of Colorado’s Odd 13. (Credit: Odd 13)

Together: Married 13 years

How did you decide to open a brewery together: Ryan began homebrewing in our kitchen in 2009, after doing about a year of research (no joke). In the fall of 2012, both our kids were in school, and I was definitely getting the “itch” to do something outside the household. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and that’s why I chose to major in Business and get an MBA. Starting a business from the ground up sounded like a great challenge and an exciting opportunity to play a large role in defining and growing a company. After moving to Colorado, Ryan and I visited breweries almost every weekend. We really enjoyed the beer scene and noticed several small breweries opening and growing rapidly. Finally, it clicked: this was my opportunity to start something from the ground up. Plus, I get to do it alongside my best friend, and husband, Ryan. How many people get to do that?

How has opening the brewery influenced your relationship: It’s not just a personal relationship anymore, it’s bigger than that, which is super amazing and has brought us even closer over the past three and half years. It’s not “Where are we going on vacation this year?” it’s “What is our forecasted growth for the year? And what do we need to do to make that happen?” which is much more thought-provoking and interesting, if you ask me.

What advice would you give couples who work together: Understanding each others’ roles is pertinent for a successful business partnership. If a couple opens a business together, and both have the desire to make the final shots, there could be a lot of frustration, which will ultimately have negative effects on their personal relationship. Ryan and I have a great working relationship. While he respects my opinions, we talk through every major decision together. However, at the end of the day, Ryan makes the final shots.

When it’s just you two, enjoying some alone time, what style beer are you reaching for: Ryan and I enjoy spending a few days a week at a local brewery or beer bar. We enjoy several styles and we will reach for something we have never had before gravitating towards a beer we have had in the past. I think we definitely have a tendency to reach for hop forward styles (West Coast and New England Style), as well as funky/sour styles.

Julie Verratti & Emily Bruno | Denizens Brewing Co. | Silver Spring, MD

Role in the brewery: Emily is the Director of Business Operations and is in charge of finances, strategic planning, managing the tap room, and HR. Julie is the Director of Business Development and is in charge of the wholesale operation (we self-distribute) and business/community relations.

Julie Verratti & Emily Bruno of Denizens Brewing Co.

Together: 12 years; Married 8 1/2

How did you meet: We met working together on the presidential campaign in 2004 in Boston.

How did you decide to open a brewery together: We both had an entrepreneurial itch and also love beer. We live in one of the most diverse areas in the DC metro region and knew we wanted to create a community focused business in our hometown of Silver Spring. We saw an opportunity to both serve the community and build a business around something we both love by partnering with our brother-in-law Jeff Ramirez. Jeff had formerly brewed at Iron Hill and Mountain Sun, so he was the perfect third partner for this venture. All three of us have unique skill sets that we bring to the business, and it allows us to focus on the things we are good at doing. We all jumped in together in 2013 and opened our doors in 2014.

How does working together impact your relationship: It complicates and also simplifies things. The complications are that there is no break from each other. Having completely different responsibilities in the company helps with that, though. The reason it simplifies our relationship is that we have common goals in all areas of our lives, and that common purpose brings us closer and also makes petty fights not worth it.

What’s one tip you’d give to couples wanting to start a brewery: Having a third partner and also clearly defined roles has helped us start and run the brewery together as smoothly as possible.

Most memorable beer shared together: The most memorable beer we shared was the first one we drank that was brewed at Denizens. After all the hard work to get the brewery operating and our doors open, that was by far the best beer we’ve had.

Dave & Quynh Rathkamp | Save the World Brewing | Marble Falls, TX

Dave & Quynh Rathkamp of Texas’s Save the World Brewing. (Credit: Save the World Brewing)

First date: December 1995, dancing and a drink in the French Quarter of New Orleans

Together: 22 years

Role in the brewery: Dave is the owner and brewer, and Quynh is the owner and chief executive officer.

What inspired you to open a brewery together: My passion has been for brewing, and Quynh’s has been for charities and giving, so we decided to combine our passions and create a philanthropic brewery.

What have you learned about each other through this process: I have an even greater appreciation for how hard working, diligent, and what a perfectionist Dave is. He is uncompromising in attaining his goal of brewing world-class quality beer. We have learned how to work professionally together, specifically respecting each other’s roles and thus responsibilities. We have learned that neither of us should be the “boss” or direct supervisor of the other.

What’s one tip you’d give to couples who want to start their own brewery: Keep your marriage as the first priority, which means carve out time away from the business, and don’t get mad at each other over business related issues.

What is the most memorable beer you’ve shared together: Dave’s experimental batch of Sol Vinum, our golden strong ale aged on crushed viognier and muscat canelli grapes. He made a small batch to release at our one-year anniversary party, and it was so beautiful to behold and delicious that it appeared to have run dry at the party. However, at the end of the day, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a small amount left in one keg, so we shared that back at our home sitting on the deck looking out over the lake relaxing after a very hectic anniversary party. It was the perfect culmination to our first full year in business and really reinforced why we took on this grand adventure, as I call it–our love of beer.

Stephen & June Gerteisen | Arkose Brewery | Palmer, AK

Arkose Brewery’s Stephen & June Gerteisen. (Credit: Arkose)

Role in the brewery: Stephen is the co-founder and head brewer and June is the co-founder and creative director.

Together: 16 years; Married 14 years

How did you meet: We met at a friend’s party in San Francisco where we both were living at the time. We discovered that we both spoke fluent German, and we were inseparable from that time on.

How did you decide to open a brewery together: Stephen had an entrepreneurial streak that was ignited after he attended a beer appreciation class and worked as a keg washer in Anchorage. In 2007, he attended the UC Davis Master Brewers program in Davis, California. It was on the drive back to Alaska that we began plotting our own brewery.

How has owning a brewery impacted your relationship: It is not only owning a brewery but planning the brewery that has impacted our relationship. In 2010, in the midst of our planning and just before signing all the loan paperwork, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having never faced something like this before, our world was turned upside down. We didn’t know what this could mean for our future, but I was lucky, and it was caught early. We were even more convinced that opening a brewery was the right thing to do and a year later, we opened. The brewery is something that we created from scratch and continue to build on each and every day. We are lucky to be able to do this together. It has brought us closer and made us stronger.

Best part about working together: What could be better than spending most of your time with your soul mate? We can be totally ourselves while working hard at what we do for the benefit of one another. He brings the science and the soul, and I bring the art and the heart.

What is the most memorable beer you’ve shared together: When we opened in 2011, we only had one beer on tap! It was Blue Skies Organic Ale and that is by far the most memorable because it was the result of all we had worked towards over the previous two years. Now we have over nine beers on tap with more on the way.

Role in the brewery: Jeff is the head brewer, and Leah manages all things sales, marketing, and for the taproom.

Together: 11 years

First date: On our first date we went for beers at the Yard House.

How did you decide to open a brewery together: When we first found out I was pregnant we worked a beer fest for our employers at the time. That day we started talking about it and realized that we wanted to stay doing what we were doing and also create a legacy for our family in Arizona. Both of our fathers have their own businesses and coming from the Midwest you are raised with the hard working entrepreneurial spirit.

Best thing about working together: The best thing about working together is just being able to see your best friend during the day. It’s amazing to go to beer events together and both have our work hats on. There’s a mutual understanding of our industry, and we both love it so much. It’s so great to have him as my rock there when I have a hard day and not have to explain why because he already knows!

What is your favorite meal to share together and what beer do you pair with it: It’s so cliché, but we both love a great steak. We are totally meat and potatoes people! He loves to drink our Magic in the Ivy Pale Ale, and I have the Scottsdale Blonde Kolsch.

Role in the brewery: Both owners and brewers

Together: 4 years; Married 2 years

How did you meet: Because of beer, obviously! We were both working front-of-house at a beer bar in Boston, then one day we went to a heavy metal show together and the rest is history.

How did you decide to open a brewery together: It’s weird to think that there was ever a time when we weren’t doing this, but it’s something that Jared had been trying to work towards for a while, and it took the two of us to make it a reality. We’ve both been brewing and drinking craft beer since we were legally allowed to. Armed with inspiration from a revelatory trip to Belgium, a notebook of ideas, and his first home brewing kit, Jared has been at it constantly for over a decade. My love of beer was initially sparked by all the unique label artwork I’d seen in the bottle shop, and once Jared looped me in on his weekend brewing sessions after we first started dating, it was a done deal. After a slew of jobs in and around the beer industry, dozens of weekends spent at both local and faraway breweries, and several brainstorming and fantasizing sessions, we took the plunge and got started!

What is the best thing about working together: Whoa. Um, all of it? Or maybe the feeling that we’re both entirely on the same team, working toward the same goal. We complement each other really well and have a nice workflow when brewing together; there’s a lot of nonverbal communication and we know each other’s strengths, weaknesses and peeves. We’re both involved in all aspects of the business — from recipe creation to ordering supplies and equipment to business development to fielding all the random emails we get, and we’re constantly bouncing ideas off each other throughout the day (and into the wee hours of the morning). And at the end of the day, we get to sit back together and enjoy this beautiful, crazy thing we built together. Plus, the brewery just takes so much time and energy that if we weren’t there together, we’d never see each other!

Where was the most memorable beer-cation you’ve taken: Tough call, but probably our trip to Asheville for our first wedding anniversary. The small brewery scene down there is really vibrant, plus we got to check out the new Sierra Nevada and Oskar Blues breweries. It was also the last trip we took before we started brewing at Bone Up. Having moved all our equipment in and being in the midst of our buildout at the time, we had a real appreciation for all the hard work that goes into building a brewery.

What is your favorite beer to enjoy together: Extra Naked, our cream ale. We always say that our beers are like our children and we don’t like to play favorites, but really this one wins every time. It usually tastes best after a long day of production work.

Role in the brewery: Nathaniel is the brewmaster and owner, and Andrea Miller is owner and manages community and events.

Together: 16 years

How did you meet: We met in Boulder at the Walrus. Nathaniel had just got done with Battle of the Bands, and I was visiting friends that attended CU. I couldn’t resist his bright pink hair.

How did you decide to open a brewery together: Nathaniel worked with his good friend Tyler Ruse to open it up. I wasn’t sure about it as it was such a risk to own your own business. I kept my mouth shut and next thing you know, we were in the brewing business. I came into the picture about a month before we opened, when I asked if any event planning or promoting had been done for the opening. When he said no, I stepped in and put it together. I was hooked!

How has opening the brewery influenced your relationship: This has truly strengthened our relationship. It takes great patience and compromise to work with someone that you then have to go home with. We are always working on separating our personal life from our business. That can be pretty hard, but we have managed.

Since working together, what’s one thing you’ve learned about each other you didn’t know already: Nathaniel is constantly in awe of the tremendous amount of work I put forth and am capable of achieving, and I am always surprised by his creativity and ability for developing forward thinking beers. I am cautious and think, “I don’t know about that,” but his ideas always hit the mark.

What is your favorite beer to enjoy together: We love trying new beers together and seeing what each likes and dislikes about them, which is always different. But the one constant is that we really enjoy our Disconnected Red IPA.

Role in the brewery: Currently, Cindy manages the taproom and Clarke does just about everything else: brewing, bookkeeping, taxes and so on.

Together: 24 years; Married 19

How did you meet: As it turned out, we grew up 40 miles from each other in Massachusetts, but we met in Anchorage through mutual friends and backcountry skiing.

What inspired you to open a brewery together: Clarke was working professionally as a brewer, and when he turned 50 we decided it was now or never for him to open his own shop. He envisioned a comfortable space to enjoy beers that were well balanced, flavorful and sociable. Clarke had the vision and Cindy was drawn into the project as an innocent bystander. We’ve always loved each other’s company and perspective on life; working the brewery together seemed a way to enjoy more of both.

What is the best part about working together: Working the serving counter together and hearing from happy customers who are enthusiastic about our beers and taproom. Knowing that we accomplished those goals through our combined efforts.

Favorite beer to enjoy together: We enjoy most any beer together, so it’s hard to pick a single favorite. There are so many great beers available now it’s more a matter of context. So, the beers stashed in a creek after a long hike in the Chugach, the beers at the lodge after an afternoon skiing or the beers at a favorite watering hole after a long day at work all rank pretty high.
