A Brief History
Years ago I was content to consume the mass produced "American P**S-water" ( my brother's eloquent phrase ). You know the Light beers and American pilsners that are mass produced and consumed by the gallon in bars on Friday and Saturday nights and on couches on Sunday afternoons.
I started to see the light when a previous boss started introducing me to other kinds of beer. Being a native of England he had little time for the American macro-brews. At that office we also had a guy who had traveled Europe and gave wonderful reports of the beers he found there.
After that I was always trying to find something to drink at restaurants and bars that was something other than the standard fare. That proved to be somewhat difficult at times!!
Then for my 30th birthday some friends, who apparently encourage my behavior, gave me 30 different bottles of beer. I promised that at some point I would give them reviews.
I also decided at some point that posting all this info on the web was much easier than trying to e-mail it to all who expressed interest in my reviews. Well I have added a few more beers to the list after the original 30.
So here they are, with the disclaimer that I am by no means a professional beer connoisseur. I just thought it would be fun to share my views with the world.
