Web states are the greatest of mugs game. I have no idea really how many of you are there out there reading this stuff.

I suppose I better gear up for another onslaught of Yuletide beer photography and copntest award gathering. Heck, it's two months to Christmas tomorrow. And this will be the fifth edition of the annual contest. I can't believe it but it is true - it all began in 2006. If you want to read all the …

I have found myself wondering what the heck I am doing with all this Albany Ale stuff but I'm not too concerned. It is interesting in itself and I think it is informing me on a pretty interesting big picture question - what makes the Albany and the Hudson River so different from the St. Lawrence …
Question: What Is Your Best Beer Giveaway?
Posted by on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 in - 2 comments
I am curious about something. I don't know that I am personally all that evangelical about beer. When I have the beer I like and the people I like together it is as much about exploring or, rather, explaining my good beer obsession as it is about recruiting new members. Nope, the day I actually …

You all should be jealous. • If I haven't told you all recently, I am eternally grateful to my former employers and clients at silverorange for letting me use and play with their technology and, I hope, act as a testing platform. Who zat? Well, I am proud to have been their lawyer over a decade …

I like to check in on the stats once in a while to see if I can see any trends. I've been at this blogging thing for almost seven and a half years now and you would thing some of the numbers would make sense. They seldom do. • Contests are good for traffic, holidays are not. You are all reading …

I love it. Things are getting interesting. In response to Troy and Cass setting up a beer crawl, I asked and have been personally declared an Ontario Craft Beer Week event in my own right. Me. Not me going somewhere. Not even me doing something. Just me. Mr. Event. I had some Beau's in the back …

I get lots of lovely emails. Many are about people wanting me to talk about their beer related products. Some are from people who want to place ads.

Oh dear. The race apparently is on as Stan say Jay is going to pass me for blog posts. So I better start posting posts whether I like them or not. Maybe... maybe I will do posts about beer people and their birthdays. DAMN. Jay does that already! OK - beer people and their pets. Maybe. I will have …
