Jake likes beer. While that may be a bit obvious, there really is no better way to summarize. Although somewhat of a "beer snob," Jake is always looking for and willing to try unique new beer beverages. He considers it the "sacred duty of the homebrewer to make different and interesting brews." Jake is also the Original Malcontent, and founder of Ambiguously Disgruntled Industries - a company renowned for its notable lack of industriousness. The rumors of him having shot a man in Reno, however, seem to be false. Jake's favorite hop is the Cascade, and he like to use Raspberries from the prolific Reeder Homestead patch whenever feasible. Other than that, he just really likes beer.
