Bob Batz Jr. is a longtime Pittsburgh newspaper and writer and editor and former food editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He still keeps a hand in food and drink, regularly writing about craft beer, spirits, and wine — because someone has to. But he writes about everything. This year, he won a North American Guild of Beer Writer’s third-place award for Best Local Reporting, shared a Society for Features Journalism award for Best Section, and was proud to be a tiny part of a Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting.
