ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Christina Perozzi, Beer Sommelier and “The Beer Chick”
Named Best Beer Sommelier in Los Angeles by Los Angeles Magazine, Christina Perozzi has gained a large following as the top female beer expert in the United States. She was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Graduating with degrees in journalism and speech communication from Indiana University, Christina realized her affinity for the beer world while managing the famous Father’s Office in Santa Monica, California. Seeing the need for beer education everywhere, she founded the popular website Beer for Chicks (www.beerforchicks.com) and started working as a consultant, a beer educator, a writer, and a beer sommelier in 2006.
Christina has been featured on Evan Kleiman’s popular radio show on KCRW, Good Food, and was also featured as guest host for a segment of KNBC’s TV show Your LA and as a guest expert on Los Angeles’s KTLA Morning Show and KCBS’s Evening News. She has been featured in Gourmet magazine, Los Angeles magazine, Patterson’s Tasting Panel, Daily Candy, Urban Daddy, YumSugar.com, Metromix.com, and the Thrill ist, as well as Forbes.com, Delta Sky magazine, Yahoo! Food, Metromix, Angeleno magazine, Los Angeles Times, Imbibe magazine, Eating Well magazine, and Market Watch.
Christina hosts beer tastings, gives seminars, and teaches classes, and also teams with chefs from around Los Angeles hosting beer-pairing dinners. Christina’s consulting clients include celebrity chef Govind Armstrong’s 8 oz. Burger Bar, Rustic Canyon Wine Bar and Seasonal Kitchen, Violet Restaurant, Library Bar, Laurel Tavern, Charlie’s Malibu, and the Essex
in Hollywood. She also lends her beer talents for charitable organizations, such as Heal the Bay, Break the Cycle, and the Geffen Theater.
Christina’s mission is to dispel the myths that women have about beer and to bring beer to the forefront of modern dining. She is currently drinking a deliciously spicy Saison Foret Belgian Ale with hints of lemon rind and pepper.
Hallie Beaune, Beer Expert
Hallie Beaune grew up in the lovely desert of Scottsdale, Arizona, where her first beer was from a can (and it wasn’t good). College took her to the Northwest, where she earned a BA in theater at the University of Puget Sound. In this mecca of craft beer, Hallie discovered the enlightened world of microbrews.
Her Beer Journey brought her to the famed beer bar Father’s Office in Santa Monica, California, where she met fellow beer chick Christina Perozzi. Her knowledge of hops and malt quickly elevated her to manager. At Father’s Office, she taught the illustrious F.O. Beer School to eager, thirsty students. She was also featured on the hit cable foodie show After Hours with Daniel Boulud as F.O.’s resident expert and beer sommelier. She has been featured as a beer expert on KNBC Evening News and KTLA Morning News.
Hallie writes about beer for the web magazine Rundown (www.rundown.com), as its resident beer expert, and for Beer for Chicks (www.beerforchicks.com), spreading the good word of beer all over Los Angeles. Hallie has worked with Christina on sold-out beer dinners at critically acclaimed L.A. restaurants Rustic Canyon Wine Bar and Seasonal Kitchen, which was featured in the Celebrator; Three on Fourth; and Violet. Hallie has also co-hosted charitable beer tastings for Heal the Bay and the Geffen Theater.
Hallie is on a spiritual quest to find the finest beers around the globe and then drink them. She is currently enjoying a nice, dry, earthy, and complex glass of Orval Trappist Ale.
1
If desired, substitute free-range, organic skinless chicken thighs.
2
Skirt steak and flank steak make great substitutes.
3
Try cranberry beans, pinquito beans, vaquero beans, midnight black beans, or red appaloosa beans.
4
This number stands for the degrees Lovibond, which refers to the degree of darkness of the malt. The higher the number, the darker the malt. The unit is named after Joseph Lovibond, who developed this measurement in the 1860s.
5
This specialty molasses can be found in most gourmet or Indian food stores. It’s simply pomegranate juice reduced to a syrup. Regular molasses cannot be used as a substitute.
6
Pure juice, not concentrate, and with no preservatives.
7
Larry says that any American, English, or Belgian yeast would work fine, but he likes the spicy, tart qualities of this specific yeast.
8
Use the lightest you can find, preferably a Pilsner malt extract such as the one Briess makes.
