Author Information

Jessica Sedgwick is an award-winning Chicago journalist who now works as the creative director of a marketing agency. She loves designing and writing almost as much as she loves discovering new breweries-ideally ones with juicy IPAs and mixed-culture beers. Dan Ochwat is a Chicago-based writer who works in journalism, marketing, and film. This means he's the guy in the corner of the brewery with a laptop. He loves sours and IPAs, clever wordplay, and hiking with his family.
