It's been a good year at A Good Beer Blog - and a good decade while we are at it. As this is the last day that has a claim to being the end of the first ten of the millennium, we could reflect on where good beer was at the dawn of this new era and where it is now. We could but we won't. Because it has been a good year and a good decade and you don't need to look further than the can of craft brew in your hand to know that. You live in the future now. And it is a good one.
For me, the comments you leave are still the best part of running the blog. Tonight, if you care to post a "I can't believe I had a whole case of..." whatever you had a whole case of comment, well, feel free. It is, after all, the great global bacchanal. And, heck, it's already over in New Zealand and Guam where their day of shame and pain, guilt and irregular and unspeakable gastric events has already begun under the blazing hot sun. Never mind them, either. Your day will come. It's called tomorrow. Me, I am going to be sensible or, at least, will probably hit the hay midnight Greenland time. Tomorrow we hit the road for visiting bright(ish) and early(ish). Let me know what I missed.

Abyss '09. I will never call a beer thick again. Holy Ka-bo-lee. I grew up as a kid in Cape Breton having bread with molasses as an afternoon treat. I didn't know I was in training.

Happy new year... good beer for the night and lite beer for the hangover down here in Chile... I like the "we are in the future" topic... in the last 3 or 4 year the craft beer market has been grown quite huge here and the products are getting better each year, the brewers get serious and standard... so the prices... I must say it's has been a good year for beer, local and imported, for me and some friends who has beggining this "beer trip" in which I has invite them... hope 2011 bring a lot of good beer... and improve the homemade version too... (sorry for the bad english... I should have wrote in spanish...)

Wait... what's wrong with U.C.?

Nothing. I am the only beer blogger in Canada who loves Utica Club more than you.

Just had (well last night actually) a "Lava" smoked imperial stout from Iceland. Iceland beer right here in Ontario - that is pretty futuristic! The beer was pretty good too but the $5.70 per bottle did impart a rather nasty aftertaste.
