Q & A with Mary Izett (New York, New York)

Over the years NYC has really taken off when it comes to beer culture. Not only is it a great city for thousands of other reasons, its got some amazing beer bars and some excellent breweries. That being said, someone has to write about all the great beer related things going on there and Mary Izett is one of those people.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Cheers!
