here<\/a>. Who I am may not be important to you per se, but a little background does give the site\u2019s content some important context.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s the most basic breakdown of the kind of thing you\u2019ll find here, and what you won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the things that you will find. The content largely breaks down into two main areas.<\/p>\n
1. Notes on beers that fall into the following categories.<\/strong> (These notes probably make up the most useful part of the site for casual visitors).<\/p>\n\n- Belgian.<\/strong> Most of the Belgian beers that were available in the US circa. 2004 to circa, 2015, plus many that were never available here, but that I had shipped from Europe.<\/li>\n
- British.<\/strong> Most of the British beers that have ever been available in the US since 2004.<\/li>\n
- German.<\/strong> Many of the German beers that have ever been available in the US since 2004.<\/li>\n
- American.<\/strong> A very wide range of American beers from the period 2004-present, with an emphasis on the period 2005-15, but also contemporary beers from the older, classic US breweries that are still producing. There are some exceptions (see below).<\/li>\n
- Other imports.<\/strong> Many, many other imported beers that have been available in the USA in the period 2004-15.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A quick note about the pictures associated with beers on the site. If a beer has a review that is originally dated 2004-10 it will often not have a picture associated with it. If a beer from that period it does have a picture, it will probably be because it has been re-visited sometime after the original notes. Most of the beers reviewed after 2010 do have pictures, but not all.<\/p>\n
2. Commentary on the US beer scene, both nationally and locally, from an Englishman\u2019s standpoint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- That\u2019s about it. No more, no less.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now on to what you won\u2019t<\/em> find here.<\/p>\n\n- Notes on pastry stouts, fake sours (kettle), hazed orange juice or indeed much canned beer (although that particular pet peeve of mine is under increasing pressure).<\/li>\n
- You also won\u2019t find commentary that sucks up to the industry or sugarcoats anything.<\/li>\n
- No video clips of me opining. I\u2019m old, so I like words, not 45 seconds from a \u2018content creator\u2019 staring into an iphone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So if you\u2019re new here, that\u2019s what you can expect. Thanks for stopping by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
