Posted by on Friday, May 22, 2009 in - 2 comments
Maybe I need to post some older photos to push the posts along in a possibly relevant way for you, the kind readers. If I had a prize I would offer it for the first person to guess where this photo was taken.

There are many beer mapping projects, you know. Many sensible ones using a variety of innovative and technically challenging methodologies that convey the important information you need to know when you are out and about this planet of ours. This map is not like that. • Here's what I have done … read more »
Yes, I Have A Life Outside Beer And It Includes Base Ball
Posted by on Friday, April 24, 2009 in - 2 comments
Not baseball so much as base ball. Old style. Old school. 1870s to be exact. And here is the thing. We are hosting some US players next week and I know there are a lot of clever US readers of this here beer blog. I came across the fact that the anthem of the US of A back then was not The Star …
Sadness Reigns When Samples Freeze

Some days writing about beer from the eastern end of Lake Ontario (Canadian side) seems like a really dumb thing to do. There is very little craft beer culture in my area, this has got to be the biggest community east of the Mississippi without a brewery within an hour's drive and, frankly, it is …

Here's the thing. I have a vision for the Yule 2009 Beer Blog Photo Contest. Last year we had about 43 prizes and 524 entries. I think we can hit over 100 prizes and maybe 1500 entries. At least. Why not? Why not 200 hundred gifts...or a zillion for that matter. It could happen. Well, it could if …

It was an intense stretch of negotiations. I begged. They were repulsed. I whined. Then...they pitied and came on board. We of A Good Beer Blog are always thrilled when a new sponsor signs up and we like to explore all sorts of ways to get along all in the cause of what might be thought of an …

I am now twittering the beer stuff at agoodbeerblog, having had a schism with myself over at twittingalan. Just out of curiosity, how many of you are on Twitter?
Session 23: What Sorta Was And What Might Be...Maybe
Posted by on Friday, January 2, 2009 in - 1 comment
2006. Isn't it still 2006? I got all woozy about 1998 and really never been right since about the year it is. And I have to admit that I gave up worrying about numbers when I last left Chaldea. Numerology is a bit of a mug's game and don't we all know that New Year's Eve parties prove it. But …
The Best Of 2008 From A Good Beer Blog - Part Two
Posted by on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 in - 1 comment
This is my best photo of 2008. I now feel that it is a bit of cheek suggesting I even have a best photo given both the quality that comes through the Yule photo contest as well as the simple fact that I did not take the variety of photos in 2008 that I did in years past. I like the stability of …
