One food or drink you couldn’t live without: Beer, duh.
What do you have great taste in? I have great taste in clothing, thanks to my wife Ellen Foote.
What do you have bad taste in? I’m a bit behind in music. My favorites are The Hold Steady and Warren Zevon. I like stories.
Who, to you, is an influential tastemaker and why? Our brewmaster, Garrett Oliver.
How do you expand and refine your sense of taste? I listen to Garrett, and Ellen. I travel, and eat everything.
What is the best-tasting thing you’ve ever eaten? A cup of ramen on the snowy shoulder of Grand Teton.
What does taste mean to you? Taste means never having to say you are sorry.
