Dave Smith
Editor
Editor of What’s Brewing. Accredited Member of the BC Association of Travel Writers. A craft beer fan since the late 1990s, Dave saw a place for What’s Brewing as a print & digital magazine. Along with wife Ivana, he travels Cascadia as half of the beer duo BeerSeekers.
Paul Morris
Co-Editor
Strictly speaking–and he does speak strictly sometimes–Mr. Morris is more than an editor to What’s Brewing. As detailed in this profile of the new-generation WB, the magazine as you know it today wouldn’t be here without this former CAMRA Vancouver VP. When not scouring the written submissions for imperfect composition, he’ll be found enjoying a cask ale at The Whip.
