Good Beer Hunting Magazine Is Accepting Pitches/How To Submit (Pay: $250 – $700)

Good Beer Hunting uses beer as a platform to explore everything else they are interested in. From economics to politics, internet memes to food, urban design to civil rights. None of these topics are off limits at GBH.

 

They also disagree strongly with those who tell them to “stick to beer.” Beer has always been, and always will be more than that. Their interviews go deeper and the articles work harder to balance the culture of craft beer with the businesses it supports, shifting the conversation with our readers toward the future of the industry we love and the tenacity of its ideals.

Their team is made up of journalists, marketers, brewers, career photographers, and folks from other varied backgrounds. The find many of the stories they write because many of them are in the middle of the beer industry.

They are purposefully seeking out sources and angles that sometimes seem to have nothing to do with beer or are only tangentially related to it. Yes, it starts with beer, but it never has to end there.
