BIOGRAPHY
May I be the light of my own lamp
Hello dear visitor to my personal space! I thank you with all my heart that you have stopped a few seconds of your hectic life to read my humble Blog!
My name is Mariano. I am from the beautiful city of Mar del Plata, Argentina better known as "La ciudad feliz" or "La feliz" wich mens "The Happy City" btw. I was born on Sunday, July 14, 1985, so according to simple mathematical calculations, I am 37 years old and the eldest of four siblings (two brothers and one sister). I also have a mom and dad. Like almost everyone (although nowadays not necessarily)

I love to travel and as a result, tourism is one of my great interests. Probably, because since I was in my mom's belly I started several journeys. Today I love to tell travel stories from every point on earth where God has allowed me to be.
I grew up as a child, first in Necochea, in Greater Buenos Aires and finally in Ushuaia where I did a large part of primary school.

At the age of 11, in 1997, I had another move, this time to the small town of Claromecó, where I lived in the lighthouse and to be honest, it was not much to my liking, since my heart was stranded in Tierra del Fire. Even today, the memories of that place with great beaches and beautiful dunes are not the most pleasant of my life.
My teenage years were spent in my beloved city of Tres Arroyos until I returned to Tierra del Fuego in 2006... to my island... to my beautiful place in the world.

On the Fuegian island I worked in the tourism, IT sector and in the field of language translators and courses.
On a personal level, my entry into the "adult" world was marked by several convulsive moments in my family and relational environment, eventually becoming a member and leader of a dangerous "Christian" sect that further damaged my delicate situation and managed to make me believing many things that, to this day, I continue to banish from my life one by one.
My love for the art of making beers
 |
| Well, it's not beer but this bottle was bigger than me and I was already reading the ingredients :) |
Being a native of the city of Mar del Plata, the capital of the production of craft beers and born into a family of German tradition, beer and its entire world have always been present in my life. That does not mean that I am drunk, eh! In fact, I have always been a very light drinker because I hate the feeling that excess alcohol generates in a person. Only once in my life did I drink too much and I didn't like the consequences of the hours following that situation at all.
Being in my early twenties, I began to venture into the exciting world of making craft beers, learning the first steps of Homebrewing by reading a lot, mainly references and masters of this art such as John Palmer, Michael Jackson (not the singer) and Jamil Zainasheff to later deepen my knowledge in managing grains, hops, yeasts and of course (never forget) water.
Today I own a dream come true with my own personal project called "Southern Microbrewery" and its brand Ktarsis. A family microbrewery that allows me to professionally enjoy this beautiful trade of creating the most diverse styles of beers on a small scale.
Towards an agroecological world

Among other projects and closely related to the craft brewery, Cultivares del Sur was born. A 100% Mar del Plata agroecological crop venture dedicated especially to the production and marketing of fine fruits
