Vote: Arizona’s Most “Beerfluential” People
Last year we released our first list of the most “Beerfluential” people in the state of Arizona (Here is last year’s list). This year, I think it is more important than ever to identify these people and rally around them to help them build our craft beer scene here in Arizona. We plan on doing things regarding the vote a bit different this year.
One side of creating last year’s list that I never anticipated was that I was just one person. People are influenced in different ways and by different people so why wouldn’t I open the list up to everyone? Well this year that is exactly what we are doing.
We have attached a poll to this page with a list of those that we believe to be pretty influential. Please select who you believe is the person that has been inspirational or influential in your craft beer experience. If you don’t see a person you believe deserves to be on the list, please feel free to click “Other” and add them in the comment section. We believe we have covered almost everyone, but again, we want your suggestions.
On June 27tht, we will end the poll and tally the votes to identify the top 5 people. In order to make this an accurate depiction of the scene here in AZ, please share with any and all craft beer drinkers you know. Thanks and cheers!

I vote for Ian Harwell!
Sean Rassas. Hands down, a huge craft beer advocate.
I say this is a community effort and multifaceted…everyone does their part on this list. If it wasn’t for the hard work of everyone who loves craft beer we wouldn’t have the scene we do today. Everyone on this list desrves to be considered beer-fluential.
My write-in vote is Ian Harwell!
