A New Start

Thanks for stopping by!

This blog has fallen by the wayside recently. In 2012, I am going to try a new project! I have developed a strong interest in Craft Beer and homebrewing. A big part of my enjoyment comes from exploring different flavors, aromas and tastes.

For 2012, I am going to try a 52 Beers in 52 Weeks project. I will post on a particular beer each week, for 52 weeks. Some beers will be common craft beers that have lots of other reviews. Others will be beers I think are unique. I primarily want to start getting my palate an vocabulary working together!  Follow me on Google+ or on Twitter for other things too!
