This Is The 2,000th Good Beer Blog Post
Posted by on Thursday, April 1, 2010 in - 11 comments
I just noticed this milestone after post number 1,997 ticked by and wanted to make mention. Even though there are posts back to May 2003, the stand alone beer blog was born with this post on Saturday, 23 October 2004. Three days later I was posting a list of a handful of other beer websites that I …
Do Writers Have A Disproportionate Influence On Beer?

Stan has a very interesting post and comments going all under the title "Does Anybody Read Beer Blogs?" For me, the same can be said about beer books, beer magazines, beer trade papers, beer web forums and beer social networks. Who the hell reads this stuff? And I don't think the medium in which …

Martyn, the wise Zythophile, made an observation yesterday that includes a per-supposition that I am not sure has been explored: • It's not said often enough in this argument: we drink because we enjoy it, and the overall happiness that brings to society, I would suggest, vastly outweighs any …
What Was My Best Beer Thing Of 2009?
Posted by on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 in - 5 comments
It has been a good year both inside and outside that beery part of my life. It is hard to measure what that means in some ways as If I was reporting to higher authority, I can state that I have put good beer in the hands and glasses of more of the uninitiated than in earlier years. It is a good …
What To Do During With This Break From Beer?

Being a serial obsessive, it is not a surprise to me that I have spent years drilling down into my interest in beer. I've done this before. Somewhere in the house is my pre-internet map collection. I would pore over detailed maps I had mailed from all over the world as I followed the news on …
Yule '09 Photo Contest: I Plain Forgot Three Prizes
Posted by on Friday, December 18, 2009 in - leave a comment
It is the scatter brained time of year. Why isn't there a mythical nutty character at Christmas time - a Loki or a jester of some sort - that captures that the business of the business of the season makes us do odd things. There ought to be - so pity me and, more to the point, Dave Selden of …

So here we are. The last post of the 2010 Good Beer Blog Yuletide Photo Contest and Marital Patience Examination. The entries have been swell and the prize givers have been even sweller - if that is possible. We have had photo entered from across North American and Europe and maybe a few points …
Seven More Prizes And... Well, Not Much More

I am getting vain about thee tables. I should have tables of something in every post. But what would I put in them. I can't judge photos every day and, franky, it is too hard to do even for just these three nights. This are not necessarily the seventh to twelfth best entries but they are the … read more »

Thanks To Our Google Reader Subscribers

Nothing deep or profound this evening. Just a thanks to the readers and, tonight, especially those on Google Reader. After six years of beer blogging, it has become harder to figure out how many people actually follow a blog given those followers on various aggregating services. But one, Google …
