As an elementary school teacher for thirteen years I’d heard the buzzwords “lifelong learner” more times than I can count. It was something that was hammered into me and then passed on to my students as a way to get them to take ownership for their learning. In the end they just ended up being words that I said, but never really thought about or took seriously. Until now.

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi.

The Drinking Sensei is a way to continue my journey of lifelong learning. I’ve brewed my own beer, passed an introductory sommelier course, and traveled the world in search of the perfect spirit. I’ve met amazingly talented and knowledgeable people in that time and learned so much from everyone I’ve interacted with. My favorite part in all of it is having a new understanding of things that I had no knowledge of before. I’m hoping that The Drinking Sensei will be that for you, the reader, as you follow along in my journey of lifelong learning with me! Cheers to beginning as a grasshopper and making your way to being a Drinking Sensei.
