David Sutula
David Sutula, author of Mild Ale (Brewers Publications, 1999), took his homebrewing hobby to a semi-professional level when he started making an hour long drive to volunteer at a Michigan brewpub.
He took his hobby to the professional level at Cleveland’s Crooked River Brewing Company in 1993. In between more than a half-dozen gigs at breweries in and around Cleveland, he’s brewed traditional English beers at John Harvard’s Brewhouse, award-winning Belgians at Diamondback Brewing Company, citrusy Farmhouse Ales at Willoughby Brewing Company and American indigenous beers at Canton Brewing Company in Canton, Ohio.
Dave is also a brewing consultant and writer, he has published technical, style-related and local brewery news and history articles in Brewing Techniques, American Brewer, Great Lakes Brewing News and a variety of newspapers and magazines.
