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 …
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 …
See, if I write "Part One" it means I don't really have to write a full post while at the same time I can put off all those emails for the contest winners I was supposed to have gotten out by now. It's coming along - almost half are out - but even you have to admit that there is no way I ever …
You know, there was a time when I wrote posts about the history of beer. Then I got in a bit of a dust up with Ron Pattinson which then became quite civil when I said something like "if you are so clever about all this history stuff you should write a blog" which, we all know, he then did and now …

When I started blogging almost five and a half years ago, I thought I wouldn't have much to say after a few weeks. We are now 6,116 posts later, putting the two blogs together, and, yes, I may not have much to say …
My gracious server masters are the most gracious server masters ever. I just got an email that they have gifted me with two more URLs which make a little more sense than the one I have been living with for about 4 years now. You now can also get your daily dose of A Good Beer Blog at …
I read with some jealousy the recountings of visitors to last week's Mondial de la Biere in Montreal. Jack Curtin's retelling of the road trip he took with Lew Bryson is particularly entertaining - there is something about reading American reflections upon their trips to la belle province...and …
Well, I have to admit there are very few I am liking more right now than dear old Ian in Alberta who, noting I did not think you could get Scotland's BrewDog in Canada, wrote me this: • “Since I've enjoyed your blog and after reading about your sad lack of BrewDog beer in Eastlakia I'd like to …
