DRAFT Magazine

It’s not everyday I get to talk with a dude quite so accomplished as Thom Beers.

Beers almost single-handedly created the genre of Testosterone TV with “Monster Garage,” “Lobster Wars,” the Emmy-nominated “Deadliest Catch,” and several other guy-friendly shows.

I interviewed him for the new issue of DRAFT, and he told me all about tribal spit-beer, hang-gliding into a hippo, and having your eyes frozen shut at 40 degrees below zero. The man has a few good stories, that’s for sure.

I may be biased, but I think you should check out the article.

ALSO, because you’re a loyal reader of the Beer Runner, you get this exclusive Beer Runner question. Enjoy.

What do you do to stay in shape?

I have two regiments. I have this great British instructor, Ben Cullen, and three days a week I do a 90-minute session with him that’s mosty weights and running and exercise stuff, and the last 15 minutes is just straight up boxing. it just feels really good to nail someone in the head or take a big shot. And the next day I go to yoga. The whole idea of breathing and breath control is the complete opposite of boxing. So you’re really working your diaphram and those two different regiments really complement each other. So I recomind boxing and yoga to everyone.
