Fascinated by the hidden history of bars, Clint Lanier has traveled the world to find out-of-the-way watering holes with great stories to tell. From the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta, to the cantinas of Mexico, he's always on the lookout for the next saloon, tavern, or dive that brings a neighborhood or a whole city together. When not on the road, he is writes about booze and teaches at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico. As a military brat, Derek Hembree began traveling and exploring the world at a very young age. A bartender during his college years and an adventurer at heart, he is intrigued by historic bars, their stories, the art of mixology, and sharing it all with the world. Along with traveling and bars, Derek is passionate about finding the perfect wave, the freshest powder, and exploring the world on two wheels.
