from the About tab of the blog:
Beer writer and homebrewer Nick Trougakos started The Thirsty Beagle blog in 2008 to cover the growing Oklahoma craft beer scene for The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com. Nick left the newspaper in early 2015 after more than 12 years in the newsroom. In April 2015, he revived The Thirsty Beagle blog.
Nick lives in northwest Oklahoma County and in his non-beer-related spare time likes to run, play pick-up basketball and dominate in Words With Friends.
