Surprisingly, they go exceedingly well together as more and more microbrews chase thirsty bicyclists across city trails. In his spare time, he loves to travel through the villages of Ireland and document rural, generational Irish pubs in the series, ‘A Proper Pint’ (https://www.aproperpintfilm.com/).
