Welcome!

This is the first post on what I hope is a very successful and informative blog. For those who have never tried a micro/craft beer...if you don't want to get hooked, stay away. For those "beer experts", use this blog as a source of information and reviews. Remember, the posts here are the opinions of the blogger, and you may or may not agree with what I say. It's hard to explain, but there are so many varieties and styles of beer to try it can be overwhelming at first. I suggest picking up a copy of Draft magazine to get started. It's a wealth of information. Try several different styles and find out which ones you like. From there try that style from different breweries, and EXPERIMENT! Be sure to check out the links on this site to get hooked up with local breweries and other beer resources. Another great book is titled 'The Brewmaster's Table". This book was written by Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery. Mr. Oliver has traveled the world drinking, brewing, and writing about beer and his book is very informative.

This site will also serve as a resource for reviews and opinions on various beer and beer related products. Remember that with so many different types of beer available, there's bound to be one you can't live without! Beer is like anything else, you have to try it to know if you like it. There is truly a beer for everyone. If you're a brewmaster or brewery owner and don't like what others (including myself) are saying about your beer, BREW BETTER BEER!!! From the darkest stout to the lightest lager, there is one for you. I hope you enjoy my site, and will allow it to serve as your atlas to the world of "good beer".
