Welcome!

It seems that Mmmm, Opinions was starting to get slightly overrun by beer-related posts, so in an effort to please my readers (or because they peer pressured me into doing it), I decided that it's time yet again to launch a new site. As you may have noticed, this place will be completely dedicated to the pursuit of delicious beer. However, you may not have noticed (assuming you're a regular reader of my nonsense) that the majority of burgers I've eaten have gotten positive reviews. That ends here.

I am hypercritical of beer. We should get that out of the way now. I don't want anyone to be surprised later if I get a little mean.

That being said, I will try to avoid outright trashing beer, except for one glaring example that anyone who knows me can already guess. I think things will be a lot nicer here if I try to stay upbeat about whatever I'm drinking. I mean, if I've paid for it, I might as well try to get some enjoyment out of it. Or at least get drunk.

As of now, I haven't decided on a ratings system. I definitely don't want to use a grade system like schools, and I don't want to try to do something numerical. That would get so confusing after a few beers, because I would have to try to compare every beer to everything else I've ever drunk. That just feels scary. I think I will probably just end up giving a general statement at the end about how enjoyable the beer experience was. Well, for the parts I remember anyway.

Where applicable, I will also give the relevant details about how the beer was served and location info and such. From what I've been told, that is important stuff.

Oh! I drink a lot more beer than I eat burgers. So you can expect this site to quickly overtake Mmmm, Burgers in terms of post quantity. Mark my words: within 18 months, there will be more posts here than there.

Enjoy!
