Your Beer Friend

In 2012, Hal Mooney (Certified Cicerone® and a Certified Draft Technician) sold his car, bought a 15-passenger shuttle bus, and started doing brewery tours on nights and weekends guiding people to the nine breweries in Los Angeles. His wife Cindy (Certified Cicerone®) joined him to operate LA Beer Hop, leading their team of nine Beer Guides to visit the 100+ breweries of Los Angeles via bus walking tours. This built the foundation for what would become Your Beer Friend in 2021 when they experienced how much fun and how much supporters enjoyed and found virtual beer events valuable. Adding the craft beer subscription boxes was its logical complement. The energy surrounding YBF just continued and continues to grow, 2022 seems set to be the best and most creative year yet. As Certified Cicerones®, Hal & Cindy love traveling all over the world and drinking beer with people. They\'re always eager to share their expertise and chat about beer styles, production, service, brewery business models, beer flavor notes, food pairing techniques and examples, and anything else about beer. By drinking with us, you\'re supporting a small family business and independent craft breweries. We all thank you.
