Steph Byce was one of the first people I met when I started hanging out
with the folks at Good Beer Hunting. I was judging an Irish Coffee
Competition, as part of yearly celebration of coffee and beer called Uppers
and Downers, and Steph was hovering around me, taking photos.
Steph is GBH’s resident photographer—she’s based in Chicago, and at any
Good Beer Hunting event, you’ll usually find her snapping photos. There’s
one of me in particular that she captured at our annual get together called
Olly Olly, where I’m looking longingly at a burrito—it’s pretty perfect.
But she’s also a longtime contributor, and went to Durago, Colorado to
report on Ska Brewing’s 23rd anniversary party. The article was published
in May on our website, and I got to talk to Steph in our studio about how
this story came to be.
