We just stopped loving this blog. And that’s a damn shame.
…but that’s about to change.
I think part of why we neglected this blog for so long was because we were thinking too big. Ever have a beer that’s almost too undrinkable because, while the ingredients and thought behind it were bold, there was just too much going on? It seemed as if being daring became priority #1, while taste and quality took a backseat. That’s kind of what happened to this blog.
We wanted to share our opinions on the many different beers we tried, but instead of just updating whenever we had a noteworthy brew, we opted instead to focus on “big” event-style posts. The 12 beers of Christmas on a blog that’s only had 1-2 posts so far? Sure, let’s do it! We were so focused on days- or weeks-long posts and lists we forgot about the part that’s most important: sharing great beers and breweries as we discover them, capturing the moment they caught our attention and why.
No, we most certainly did NOT stop loving beers. And we definitely still love writing. It’s a beautiful time to be a craft beer enthusiast, and now is the time to start up this project again. Expect a new post in the very near future, friends and fellow brew-lovers.
We’re back.
