My name is Ed McChesney and I live in Virginia Beach, VA with my wife Kandi, who is in the picture with me. I am 50 years old and recently retired from the Navy after 26 years. I began brewing almost 10 years ago after receiving a kit for Father's Day. I was immediately hooked and started ordering the ingrediaents to make far more substantial brews. I was stationed in Washington, DC at the time and I brewed as often as possible. I eventually had so much beer stocked up that I had to invite my office over for a party. Everyone loved the beer, so I expanded to four fermenters over the years. Most of my friends and relatives can find something they like and I try to keep a good variety on hand.Breaking: Mr.Beer Gives up Bachelorhood

In case you missed it, this week we rocked the brewing world with the exciting news that Mr.Beer is joining forces with Australian brewing giant Coopers Brewery, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. For the past few months, as we’ve worked and planned to make sure everything would be perfect all while keeping our lips sealed, we’ve been like kids waiting for Christmas. We even created an advent calendar, with a different beer to mark each day we got closer to making it a reality. Ok, maybe we didn’t do that last part. But we could have! We have, certainly, sampled many a different beer as we toiled unwaveringly on exciting new flavors of malt designed to enhance and improve your Mr.Beer brewing experience.
We’ve met some fantastic, inspiring and just plain fun members of the wonderful Coopers family, and I, for one, am pretty convinced that we’ve found our long-lost homebrew soul-mates. Just like us, they love their jobs, and they also know how to have a lot of fun. With that and other similarities in our respective core values, it feels like we were made for them. Ok, that last part sounded a little chick-flick-ish. But what can I say? I am a chick. In any case, it’s just important for us to express to you guys how much of a perfect marriage this really is. I mean, I know you love us just as we are, but Coopers, with their size, reach, ingenuity, and quality, are going to make Mr.Beer even better than we already are.
