I love beer. But, I don't love the beer "culture" that's sprung up over the past few years.
Why?
Too many beer fan sites have become little more than echo-chambers for sycophants. Too many "spokesmen" for the industry peddle a myth that only tells half the story. Too many bon vivants want to turn beer into the new wine and obsess over how to pair it with food I have started this blog to give people another perspective; one that addresses aspects of brewing history that the spokesmen conveniently ignore, esoteric brewing techniques that are supposed to lend to a beer's complexity, but really just serve make for long brewing days and add no appreciable value to the beer's final quality. Most of all, I hope this blog is fun and entertaining.
Aaaaaand awaaaaaay we go!!!
