Well ladies and gentlemen, here's the math: I've blogged 81 beers this year. Unfortunately there have been 144 days this year which puts me 63 beers back... That is quite... a... few.
But fear not loyal reader (I'm not afraid) I'm still fully behind my goal of tasting and blogging 365 new beers this year.
I could blame my negligence on a lot of 'stuff' that's been going on, (I've been a father now since shortly after the time of my last post. Total coincidence.) or on 'issues' I've encountered. (My cool black macbook quit and now I have to use my wife's prissy white one.)
But I won't. I'll be the bigger man and tell you that both blogging and tasting beer are wayyyyy harder than simply hoisting a frosty pint.
The good news is, I have not stopped drinking and taking notes on beers in my down time. Yes that's right I've got some 20 beers in my quiver waiting to hit the blog. Still, looks like a long row to hoe.
Things I'm going to do differently now:
-Not worry about the concept of 'one a day'. Just looking to hit the magic 365 figure (thank god it's not a leap year)
-Normalize my reviewing method in order to make posts quicker and easier to write.
-Start working out. That really doesn't have a lot to do with the blog, I'm just becoming too much of a couch potato.
Things I've learned about my life vis-à-vis beer:
-Stout is my second favorite style. (after IPA)
-I like porters much more than I thought I did.
-Belgium makes both really great and really bad beer.
-I think Mikkeller is my new favorite brewer.
-Most of the time I type 'berr' and then have to hit backspace two times and try again.
-A good beer is really easy to find.
-A great beer is much harder to find.
I hope you will stick with me as I catch up and strive for 365 in 2011.
-T
