Derek Zomonski

I have devoted my adult life to the business of great beer. I was able to witness its growth throughout the 90's, its restructuring during the late 90's, its second renaissance at the beginning of the millenium, and its explosion since. My diverse experience as a retailer at one of the largest off-premise stores in the Midwest, the head brewer at a brewpub, a craft and specialty beer distributor, Regional Brewery Representative and the Michigan Regional Sales Manager for one of the largest craft breweries in the country, and National Sales Manager for a Belgian and French craft beer importer is unique in the beer industry. Specialties: Beer Education, Certified Cicerone, Beer and Food pairings, presenting at seminars or beer dinners, beer and brewing knowledge balanced with an understanding of the business of beer.
