Author: Jeff Cioletti
I’m Jeff Cioletti and The Drinkable Globe marries my two greatest passions: fine drink and travel. The search for the former usually drives the latter.
I'm the author of Imbibing for Introverts, Drink Like a Geek, SakePedia, The Drinkable Globe, Beer FAQ and The Year of Drinking Adventurously.
I'm the former editor-in-chief of Beverage World magazine and currently editor in chief of CRAFT SPIRITS magazine
I’ve been interviewed on beverage-related topics for CNN, Fox Business News, CNBC, Beer Sessions Radio, Canada's ROB TV, NPR, BBC World, BBC Radio, The Associated Press, The New York Post, Financial Times, Investors Business Daily, Advertising Age, WCBS-TV and several other media outlets.
Beyond the journalism gig, I’m also a filmmaker; I wrote, produced and co-directed the feature film, “Beerituality,” a comedy set in the world of craft beer.
