Alrighty,

I've wanted to catalog all of the different kinds of beer that I have had, and figured that this would probably be the most interesting way to do it. I considered starting to write reviews on beeradvocate.com but I felt that was slightly impersonal and much too numerical in it's categorization.

I've decided to rate beers on a F- to A+ scale, which is something I'm intimately familiar with due to my 16 years of schooling (holy crap has it really been 16?). This will likely evolve as I find better and more interesting ways to express my emotions over a single brew.

Why beer? I went to college in Fort Collins at CSU. New Belgium, Odells, Boulder Brewing, Laughing Dog, to name a few local(ish) favorites. It's amazing how quickly my beer palate matured in that area.
Freshman Year: McCormicks Vodka->Keystone Light->Budweiser
Sophmore Year: Fat Tire and other New Belgium Brews. The year I discovered the microbrew. Mmmmm...
Junior Year: Started branching out and trying porters, stouts, brown ales, all sorts of fun tasty stuff.
Senior Year: Being able to buy my own beer helped me browse and choose with leisure. I tried the Abyss for the first time this year and was completely blown away with what beer could be.

Now I believe I have a completely open mind about beer, ready to try the hoppiest of IPA's to the Maltiest of Stouts. So let's pop a top together and down something delicious.

Warning: Some blog posts might contain nothing about beer at all, and will simply be insights into my own life. You have been warned.

CHEERS!
