Gary Corbin Writing and Editing

High-quality documents—fast.

A homebrewer as well as a maker of wine, mead, cider, and soft drinks, Gary is a member of the Oregon Brew Crew and a BJCP National Beer Judge. He won the blue ribbon at the National Homebrew Competition in 2000 for his Prohibition Porter, and he designed and brewed (with Michael Rasmussen) what is now Widmer’s Collaborator “Hallucinator”, a perennial favorite at the Holiday Ale Festival on Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square in December. He also provides “Beervana Pub Crawl” brewpub tours with Portland Walking Tours.

Gary started writing about beer in the early 90’s. He has published several articles on beer and wine in a variety of sources, including the Portland Tribune, BrainstormNW, and The Oregonian.
