Jason McLaughlin
Jason McLaughlin is a Beer Judge Certification Program judge, craft beer aficionado, and award-winning home brewer living in Lincoln, Nebraska. Jason's love for outstanding beer started early when his lifelong friend, Adam Curfew of Salt Lake City. got his start as Squatter's Brewery. The rest is history, as Jason travels around the country judging beer competitions and attending related events. Beer tasting and evaluation is his passion, and he can appreciate a great example of any style – regardless of hype. His idea of a nice summer day is a lawn chair and a pint of Russian Imperial Stout.
