Milwaukee, WI
Toby Eckhardt is a Milwaukee-based writer and craft beverage enthusiast who turned a homebrewing hobby into a second career covering food, drink, and hospitality. After a decade in B2B sales for packaging companies, he started a popular beer and food blog that led to freelance gigs with regional magazines. Now Toby writes for Writly about the food industry, brewing trends, and small business operations with a journalist’s curiosity and an insider’s palate. He holds a Cicerone certification and judges at several Midwest beer competitions. When he’s not visiting a new taproom or testing a sourdough recipe, Toby coaches youth hockey and argues passionately about the superiority of Wisconsin cheese curds.
