The answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Before I make any official posting about beer reviews or news, let me explain a little bit about myself and what this blog is.
I am a 22 year old recent college graduate who has an obsession with good beer. It started way back when I was 18, and my dad bought me a Guinness for my birthday. I had always stated that I wanted it to be my first beer, mostly because I was so against trying Budweiser. So I drank it and decided that this was pretty damn good stuff and I ought to keep drinking it.
Throughout the years, I have stayed loyal to what I consider the "good beers": Ales, stouts, porters, IPAs; and stayed the hell away from anything that looked like piss and didn't taste much better. I guess you could say I became a beer snob--I turned my nose up at anything made by Budweiser, and Coors, Corona, and Dos Equis didn't have it much better. Instead I turned to really hoppy beers, such as Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, or dark beers, like SOB (Special Old Bitter). I turned to meads, barley wines, Scottish ales, lambics, and wheats. In short, I really like beer. Good beer.
However, I am by no means an expert. I know the language: appearance, aroma, head, body, malt, mouthfeel, aftertaste--but I've never reviewed beer before and despite me tossing around names and jargon, I'm kind of just winging this. So don't criticize if I happen to get a fact or word wrong (although definitely point it out, just not in a mean way). I promise I'll get better as I go.
This blog, therefore, is a place for me to put my opinions of beers I've had for my own reference and for others. I'll also include beer trivia, craft beer news and events, and anything else beer related that comes my way.
Hopefully I'll have more posts coming in the next couple days.
Huzzah! Beer!
