Another installment..

With all of the excitement (yes, all on my end) of getting this little experiment (blog) started I neglected to tell that while I aim to write most everyday it might not happen quite this often, so for those who happen upon my ramblings expect posts at random intervals. I am not always in the mood to write, and quite often might not have anything interesting to say...Who knew?

Last night while enjoying a pint at my favorite local watering hole with a few friends and other folks I respect in the beer industry it dawned on me that one thing that is quite often forgotten about by some professed beer geeks when it comes to the experience of the various ales and lagers available throughout this world. The people you share the experience with! When I think back to all of my experiences and the people I have met along the way I wonder if the people who are constantly on their computers rating the latest rare and interesting beers they have found note this as they pick up their little notebooks. Is it important to all? Surely not, but to me it is. Just as the question has been posed "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound"? Is the experience of a world class, or at least really good beer truly appreciated if you are alone? Wouldn't it have been better to share the experience?

Just a thought..

Cheers!
