Dan Sullivan

Host/Writer/Brewdie

Hailed as the worlds 7th test tube baby, Dan Sullivan is an experiment gone wrong and then turned right. Using a derivative of the analog cloning method and high sequence gene base of the finest craft beers, Burlington Community College gave birth to its greatest mistake yet. The following years of education were shrouded in mystery. The next recorded sighting was at the 2000 keg stand Olympics where Dan the mysterious, refused to drink the cheap beer the laid before him. Armed with his own keg of Pike’s Kilt Lifter, and only wearing only the same, Dan defeated each competitor with grace and gusto. Five minutes later he entered and won the World Cup of Beer Pong, making him the first human to take the Beer Sports, double header. With Don Johnson like humility he refused the trophy citing that he was already “In the zone” before the competition had ever started reducing all other competitors to mere sandbags in his path to victory.

Dan, by then known as the greatest Luchedore in all of North-Eastern Vermont, knew that he could not truly respect himself until he was doing exactly what he wanted. With little hesitation Dan realized that forensic brewology was his calling. Armed only with a song in his heart, Dan paddle-boated to California where he attended University taking on an ambitious triple major in Public Brew Policy, Brewdonomics and Nursing. Dan was expelled in his 2nd quarter for stealing the Dean’s boat...and daughter.

Still hungry to show the world what he was capable of Dan found himself sharing a cell one night, with indie producer Jonathan Jackson who immediately saw potential and began groundwork and what would become the unavoidable sensation Brewdies.

Jonathan Jackson

Producer/Writer/Brewdie

As an undergrad, Jackson rose to rock-star fame in La Mans record timing. He got his start as a simple teacher’s assistant. By the end of his first week, Jackson was teaching a four part lecture series to a high-price, standing room only auditorium of professors and community activists... In Mandarin. As a Freshman, Jackson was elected student body president, even after Rolling Stone Magazine leaked Jackson’s horrifyingly public gaffe from a Facebook status update that stated that, “I smoked, but I did NOT exhale.”

At age 20, with a PhD in micro-brewanomics, Jonathan went on to become the youngest man to be inducted into the Humble Man Hall of Fame. A live television crew caught Jackson off guard with the signature 800 lb diamond-encrusted Humility Trophy. His response was simply, “Take that bitches!!!... (throwing his hands in the air like Tiger Woods used to) GOAAAAALLLLLLLL!” The live television audience wept with joy. Days later his trophy was taken back when he was accused of taking “humility-enhancing drugs.” Jackson received the news while tutoring the Dali-Lama. His public response to the allegations was simply “You’re a humility enhancing drug!!!” The Humblegate scandal put a serious damper on his bragging rights... Which totally sucked.

After a series of academic endeavors on Vulcan, for which he published 25 times in Nature and Science, Jackson had a stark realization that he was not investing his talents in his true passion, drinking craft-beer and producing three minute web videos. He began producing what he felt would one day be a “pretty cool” variety show about beer and stuff. After months of holding auditions, Jackson found that the talent consistently couldn’t keep up with the job’s stringent drinking requirements. Jackson hit rock-bottom. He first took notice to Dan Sullivan after initially meeting him in a high-security, “ four bar” hotel. The conversation started when Jackson introduced himself by charismatically asking, “hey... you don’t have a job... do you?” A business plan was then scribbled on a series of cocktail napkins which would lay the groundwork for the infectious Internet hit, Brewdies.

Jonathan enjoys:

• Cycling in tight clothing
• Beer tasting
• Reminiscing about once being the world’s most humble man... for hours
• Show Running
• Running in the snow
