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 …

Starting with the metaphor of going steady, Jay sets out his observations on the state of The Session with the line "Dear Session, we’ve been going steady now nearly two years...and I think perhaps it’s time to “talk.” • He's right. The thing needs a couples weekend, a counseling session … read more »
Beer And Health: A Booze Intake Calorie Calculator
Posted by on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 in - 8 comments
This little tool over at the BBC calculating the calories of drinks is actually quite handy. I just learned that five pints is the same as a danish, a hot dog, a pizza slice, a couple of onion bhaji and a couple of jaffa cakes. Two doubles of hard liquor are only worth a pizza slice and one jaffa …

The contest is on! The contest is on! Entries are pouring on but there has been a bunch of other stuff keeping me from posting a semi-gallery so far. It is really a hemi-semi-demi-gallery so far but you get the point. Here is some stuff I have notice over the last few days: • I brewed yesterday …
Beer History Master Classes As Found On Beer Blogs
Posted by on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 in - 2 comments
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 …

Those pals of mine at silverorange, the good folk who run the hickory fired servers upon which A Good Beer Blog runs, have come up with a new idea - a group web gallery called ClusterShot which also allows you to sell licenses for the use of your photos. I know one thing about beer bloggers. We …

I've just finished another great conference (at least my third this month) and I checked back with Stan's blog post on the beer blog conference thingie and the clever people at Madison Beer Review posted this incredibly apt comment: • I’m not unopposed to the idea in theory. I am concerned that …
Who Is The Best Beer Blogger? Ron Is.
Posted by on Saturday, October 25, 2008 in - 2 comments
If we were not clear on this point as yet, our English expat pal in the Netherlands has made it abundantly clear in his last post wherein he sums up the 20th century. If I perhaps could claim to be The Jam - an accolade I would resist - he is no less than The Smiths. I bow deeply. We are honoured.

Here's an experiment. When I was at Zap Your Pram 2008 over the weekend, there was a very nice representative from Last.fm, the internet music social network thingie. I've been playing with it ever since, loading music into the library, figuring out which bands are like the bands I like and …
