One Of The Things I Will Not Do - For You Or Me
Posted by on Thursday, November 12, 2009 in - 2 comments
It is ad renewal time at A Good Beer Blog. You will have noticed some tasteful and subdued notices scattered to the left, quietly doing their job and helping the beer blog do its business. Emails are being sent out to those needing to update their account to keep the bots happy. They generally hum …
Session 33: What Is This Question About?
Posted by on Friday, November 6, 2009 in - 1 comment
The most squandered meme in beer blogging is back with a question that leaves me a little confused and a little disinterested. Here is the heart of the question posed by Andy Couch who is not Andy Crouch: • Each of these descriptions is inevitably an attempt to ‘frame’ the beer, putting the …
A Good Beer Blog's Xmas Photo Contest Is Coming
Posted by on Sunday, October 25, 2009 in - 2 comments
I have a confession. The Xmas photo contest got a wee bit out of hand last year. Over 500 hundred photos to sort through. I think it is a great thing to do and am happy to help those who need more beer gifts get them. But it got a wee bit out of hand. I have 4 kids in the house, for heaven's sake …
Does Reading About Beer Fill Your Workday?

You know, I have to admit that I rarely think of you in all this blogging stuff. I know. It is unkind and likely unwise. You are, after all, the thing that keeps the fire burning within the stats furnace and fills the comments box. But I've noticed something that you might see in the pattern above …
Greed May Not Be Good But Profit Is Loverly

I don't know what to make of the post by Melissa Cole today. At the end she indicates that she has not yet indicated that some of her writing fails to indicate clearly that there may be a conflict of interest... and promises to sort that out. At the beginning she says some others - bloggers no … read more »
Session 31: What's In Your Glass This Summer?
Posted by on Friday, September 4, 2009 in - 5 comments
I have to admit that while this month's topic is apparently about beer I am not sure that I am about beer in relation to this topic. Because when it is stinking hot, I do not crave beer. Let's be frank. Real beer is good for up to about 25ºC. Over that your need cold light beer to about 29ºC but …
A Glimpse Into What The Beer Blogger Is Likely Not
Posted by on Friday, July 10, 2009 in - 3 comments
As you may have guessed, I like to think about my relationship to beer and the brewing trade. That is, at this moment, really my prime motivation for this blog. It is not so much that I need to chronical my time with beer. And it is certainly not that I think that I have any right to suggest I …
My Beer Blogging Hour With Google Analytics
Posted by on Sunday, June 28, 2009 in - 3 comments
I came way too late to the Google Analytics mania that is sweeping the globe. Forget Twitter and its limitations. Forget Facebook and those so-called friends. No, what people are really obsessing about out there on the information superhighways is actually what is actually happening on their …
What Happens If There Is An Instalanche...

...and no one notices? • I have not really followed the server stats very closely for the last year or so but apparently on 4 June 2009 Ann Althouse had a Bitter Woman IPA from Tyranena Brewing and linked to my post from July 2008 at Instapundit to explain on June 5th. Result? Zero visits to my …
"Feeding Frenzy" Or "Why Is RSS So Hard?"
Posted by on Friday, May 22, 2009 in - 4 comments
OK, Greg has explained it. People have been using: • http://beerblog.genx40.com/rss • but now should be moving to: • http://beerblog.genx40.com/feed • Trouble is the "rss" people number 3,221 on Google reader and the "feed" people number under 200. I presume other aggregators have similar …
