He grew up in Pennsylvania, born in Reading on March 3, 1959, and subsequently lived in Virginia, New York City, and North Carolina (as well other short stints in between),. He moved to northern California over 25 years ago, in 1985. \"In 1991, a friend and I visited over 500 bars in the county we lived over a four or five month period. We wrote up our reviews of each place and I wrote generally about the history of beer, beer styles, etc. So I’ve been writing about beer since 1992, when my first book on beer was published. It was a guidebook to bars in the area I then lived, with an emphasis on beer. That book was called The Bars of Santa Clara County, A Beer Drinker’s Guide to Silicon Valley. My main job for the past decade or so has been taking care of my two children. My eldest child, a son named Porter, was born in September of 2001. When he was around three he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder so we decided one of us needed to focus on doing whatever we could to help him with the challenges he’d be facing. Our second child, a daughter named Alice, was born in July of 2004, and between the two of them, I generally have my hands full. So I left my job as General Manager of the Celebrator Beer News, a national brewspaper reporting on the craft beer industry, and became a full-time parent and a part-time writer.\" Jay wrote occasional features for Bay Area newspapers, the Marin I.J. and the San Francisco Chronicle. In April of 2009, he took over the late Bill Brand’s column and the Bottoms Up blog, which is now Eat · Drink · Play, for the San Jose Mercury News, Oakland Tribune, Contra Costa Times and other newspapers. \"I’ve also continued to write articles and reviews for the Celebrator as well as maintained my role as the Blind Panel Tasting Manager for each issue. In addition, I write a regular column, The Left Coaster, for the Ale Street News, an East Coast beer publication, and The Craftsman, for Modern Brewery Age. I’ve written features for All About Beer, American Brewer, Beer Advocate, Beer and Brewing, Beer NW, Beer: The Magazine, DRAFT, New Brewer, Zymurgy and many others.\""},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Brooks, Jay R."]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Jay R.
