What Ales Thee

This blog will change your life. . . As long as you believe in the butterfly effect.  Just as the gentle flap of a butterfly's wing can eternally change the course of humanity, one blog post from me has and will continue to have an enormous impact on mankind as we know it.  Unless you want your future children to disappear from the polaroid you took 20 years from now that they will take back with them to the current time, I suggest you follow this blog. Butthead.

One of the consequences of not reading What Ales Thee

Because sadly it's really the only thing I'm decent at besides NHL 93 and extreme crocheting, I have chosen to blog about drinking and brewing beer.  I fully intend for this smut to only be read by the slight minority of my friends that can read.  For the majority of you, I have created a separate picture blog, but good luck typing in the URL and sounding out this sentence.

In this blog, I will post about the wonderful world of beer and home brewing.  I aim to be your Virgil escorting you through the many ironic circles of hell.  Your sin is not currently knowing enough about beer, and the only way you will avoid harpies eternally gnawing at your innards is to read this blog.  I repeat: It is the only way.

Canto V, Verse 23

I chose to start writing this blog for two main reasons: 1) My girlfriend started it for me  2) To stop people from drinking bad beer and to end misconceptions about beer.  Not only do I want you to drink good beer, but I think it would just be the bee's knees if you would consider brewing beer too.  In order to get your training wheels, I will also be blogging about how to brew the commercial beers you love to drink.  I myself have been brewing from before I was legally able to buy beer, so I feel somewhat qualified enough to share the sacred art of brewing with you.

In addition to brewing for seven years now, I have also worked for three breweries and currently work for an awesome European one that I will not name to avoid embarrassing them.  

 I feel I have now written a sufficient but not necessary introduction.   In fact, this whole blog is going to be barely sufficient but entirely not necessary. 

So sit back, relax, grab a pint, and let's learn about beer together.  Cheers!
