Who is @ChipperDave?

Well hello! Thanks for clicking the URL in my Twitter profile. Wondering what my story is? This pretty much covers my professional background…

I’m a big fan of social media tools now. Twitter has been a god-send to me for meeting other people with similar interests. The profile on Twitter is rather limited, so this page is here to help make up for that fact and expand upon that.

You’re now on the Fermentedly Challenged website, http://www.fermentedlychallenged.com/. Here you’ll find the primary focus of my free time, namely – enjoying good craft beer. Fermentedly Challenged is all about expanding your taste in beer by providing reviews of hundreds of craft beers. Seeing how I live and work in Colorado, you’ll probably notice a noticeable Colorado slant to my postings. I like to feature local breweries and post news articles about Colorado and regional events. I go to as many beer festivals and breweries that I can manage to and when I do I bring along my camera and video equipment.

I also moonlight as the Northern Colorado Beer Examiner for the Examiner.com Denver web site. I’ve been writing there to expand upon my writing skills and to pick up some beer money on the side.

Since you got here from Twitter, you might be interested in this post I wrote about it:

• Twitter is the new beer pub

If you already follow me on Twitter, thanks a bunch! Please “@ChipperDave” me a hello so that I can follow you back. I try to follow as many of the Twitter nation as I can.

If you’re trying to decide whether or not I’m safe to follow on Twitter, relax. I don’t send out a bazillion tweets a day and I won’t spam you with offers of any kind. I use twitter as my virtual pub and am typically sitting back enjoying a craft beer after work and sharing a few tweets with fellow beer fanatics at the same time.

If you are a lover of good beer like I am, you might be interested in checking out the rest of my web site. I’ve sampled nearly 200 different beers in the last year or so and have written about just about every one of them. I maintain a calendar of Colorado beer festivals and events. I’d love to hear about what you thought of some of those beers and if you’ve had a great beer I might not have tried yet.

Here are some more links if you’re still curious…

• Colorado breweries and brewpubs list


• Colorado homebrew shops list


• Interactive map to Colorado beer spots

I’m sure I’ll have other stuff to add here with time, comments on the whole Twitter experience, ideas, suggestions, requests. What would you like to see on a page like this? What questions do you have?

Thanks for reading. Gotta get back to trying to find the perfect beer. I have a feeling it will take my entire lifetime. But that’s ok.

Back to Twitter!
