Craig Pinhey is a "Nova Scotia brewed" writer and beer enthusiast, who was introduced to good beer at Ginger's in Halifax around 1984.

He has been heavily involved in the beer scene in Ontario for the last 10 years, including writing columns for Great Lakes Brewing News and the CABA Times, and has held various positions with the Canadian Amateur Brewers Association, including President in 1998. He currently resides in Rothesay, New Brunswick, but spends his travel time seeking out good beer, wine and spirits and then writing about them.

A Metallurgical and Environmental Engineer by education, Craig's beer qualifications include being a Recognized Beer Judge and a multi-award winning homebrewer.
