I do not plan on being a site that "ranks beers" though I may have a ranking system. I do not plan on being a site that promotes one beer over another though I will have favorites. This site is a personal challenge I am putting on myself. I am challenging myself to dissect beers and really know the ingredients. I am a home brewer and I know what goes into a good beer - but my tastes of a chinook versus cascade hop, the difference between a porter and a stout, the various yeast strands out there; these are all things I want to have a better appreciation. Sure I could sign up for a class (and I may), I could challenge myself to become a tasting judge (this is also a possibility) - I am deciding to do it the old fashion way.
I will drink through the beers that I can find on my travels, at home and on vacation. I will drink a beer a day for 365. I will list those beers out and speak about the experience. This may mean I will actually describe the flavor and texture. I may speak of the company I held while drinking the beer. Or the location that the beer was drank. I will attempt to read from specific sites a bit about the beer and style and ingredients. By the end of 2012 I hope to increase my knowledge of beer to a more professional level. Though I have drank way more then 365 different beers in a year - I have not educated myself on each.
Please leave you thoughts comments and suggestions for beers to try on the Contact Me page and I will do my best to respond to my followers. Thank you for following and watch for the FIRST BEER sampling on January 1 2012.
