"Jimmy" here is the author of "Make your own Poison; A sexy Recipe" (Illustrated by Yesenia Alvarado). He has a couple of years of brewing experience under his belt. He started and still brews along with his two homies. There are hopes in brewing for a bigger crowd later down the line, of course. The trio’s signature brew is their Frankenstein, 11% abv Barley wine, aged with French smoked bourbon oak and a blend of cacao nibs and vanilla beans. They stay nameless for the time being.

Yesenia Alvarado is the author of the "Chocolate Coffee Stout Cake" recipe and Illustrator for "Make your own Poison; A sexy recipe" article, written by Jaime Cardenas. Yesenia can account for plenty of hard work for this issue and made this zine's timely release possible. She loves to cook, draw, and draw what she cooks.
