Evan Rail is a beer expert. I have my own cartoon and I’d consider trading him for that title. I’d say I could try to combine them, but Seth MacFarlane and Family Guy beat me to it. Peter Griffin already exists. We sat down to discuss how one gets such a title. After all, it might be the second coolest thing a person could be dubbed (besides a knight).

Evan shared how it’s possible to become an expert on any subject, and the importance of finding your niche. He also told us some great tales from his travels, as well as battles with Internet trolls. Evan also shared the delicate balance you face when you’re trying to write coherently about an intoxicant. He’s certainly much better at it than I would be.

Author Bio:

by Andy Shore

Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.
