An occasional peek inside the refrigerators of local beer professionals to see what they’re drinking (other than their own brews).

Pro: Chris Gillogly, head brewer at Original 40.

Pints: “Honestly, I drink Miller High Life a lot. Also Alpine — lately it’s been Babyface and International Dankster, a collaboration they made with Pizza Port. We did a collaboration with SouthNorte that I drink a lot of, it’s a dark lager (Oscuridad), crisp, about 5.5 percent. Oh, and whenever I see a Genessee Cream Ale I glom onto that.”

Peter Rowe

Peter joined The San Diego Union-Tribune in 1984. A native Californian who grew up in Encinitas, Rowe is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Northwestern University. He is past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and a former Fulbright scholar. He has won a few journalism awards, but would trade them all for a chance to avenge his 1994 “Jeopardy!” loss. Married to a terrific woman who has saved him from errors in writing and in life, he has three sons. At the U-T, Rowe writes profiles and features and is even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair.
