In my never expanding effort to get you people to read more about beer, I offer you a great new source of information, the Chicagoist. Underneath this link you will find search results from that organ's search engine for the word "beer". The Chicagoist does not appear to have a handy category link for their "Beer of the Week" posts, which are very clever and thoughtful reviews, or other beer related commentary. So that search result will have to do.
In other beery ready bloggy news - and in addition to Greg - don't forget to check out contributors Donavan and Knut, back from vacation. And also check out the beerish thoughts of recent commentors Evghenis's, Al's, MSS's, Tedo's, zzsimonb's, Bad Ben's and Woodchuck's beer posts and Travis's one post blog. At least it is 100% about beer. And also The Belgian Beer Blog as well as Chris at Belmont Station...and Appellation Beer...and Beer Rag has started up again...and there is The Pour from The New York Times that adds a post slightly more often than Travis does.
Add any more links to the more active side of beer blogging to the comments...because sharing is good.

Great! There were at least four or five on there that I hadn't seen before!
Just as a note: in trying to get "The Pour" into a proper "beer & ale" (who needs that nasty wine!) rss feed, I made this link and it seems to work;
http://thepour.blogs.nytimes.com/?cat=23&feed=rss2
The other rss feed links on the pour's page all seem to feed all of his categories, rather than just beer and ale. This may be obvious to some of you, but I was actually a bit shocked that it worked considering there wasn't an option to do so linked from the page.
Now I'm off to drink an ale that is also a beer! :)

I must be the last to clue into the existence of the Morning Advertiser. Note the active comments under articles effectively making it a massive blog populated by UK publicans.

There is Gay Orbit, but Michael told me that he knows you so you probably already know that. You might also see something interesting in the Friday beer blogging that I do at John Cole's site, for example I thought this post (or this) was pretty good. Click on the link at the bottom for the rest of my beer-related stuff. I couldn't taste my way out of a paper bag but at least I'm having fun.

Thanks for the plug! As we approach the date of our store relocation I've had slightly less time to post on the blog, but rest assured I haven't forgotten...

Thanks for the mention, although Hop Talk is not just me, but also Ron, whom I have known for approximately forever.
