Better Libations Author: Danithius

Danithius* was born in a quaint little town on Michigan's lower peninsula. (Or the LP, as the street urchins call it). Soon thanks to the divorce of his parents he began a nomadic lifestyle that continues to rouse an insatiable wander-lust to this very day.

When Danithius was about eight years old when he developed a peculiar interest in all things culinary, and he began regularly checking out cookbooks from the library. This obsession with food and drink followed him through his formative years, leading him to pursue a career as a cook at a local Italian restaurant, starting at the age of 15. He continued to pursue his passion through personal study and by working as a chef at other restaurants through his adult years, as well as his many freelance culinary studies in various parts of the US and Japan.

Sometime in 2007, Danithius realized that throughout his neverending quest to find new flavors in food, he always found himself hunting for new and original drinks with which to wash them down. This, combined with a concern for natural nutrition and a general distrust of large corporations (most likely stemming from Danithius' abduction and subsequent six-month captivity at a radical militant hippie compound), set the foundation for the idea of Better Libations.

Soon after starting Better Libations Danithius enlisted the help of fellow drink-enthusiast and long-time friend "Wise_Guise"* to co-command the Beverage Revolution.

Viva la Revolucion!
