I miss those. I only like to do about one and a half hours of real work on Fridays, and that used to be one of my favorite instruments of procrastination.

I really said all that? How nice to be quoted...Wow! I really said all that? How nice to be quoted in the Beer Blog. You forgot my best one... "Maybe you should pay the D&C Beer Buddies to write your column for you"...OUCH! In all seriousness, I do apologize for jumping on you like that at the new Webster MacG's. I was way too harsh and it was good to see you and Bruce out and about as it has been a couple months since we last crossed paths. At least you do know that I regularly read the blog and also remember that I always complimented you on it when you first got it going and were putting more effort into it.<BR/>I can clearly see where you are running low on ideas and things to write about. I know that you like to mix humor into your writing but it seems that some of your more recent posts have become way too heavy on the cutesy humor and way too light on useful beer information. The football column a bit back was scraping the bottom. You should stick with writing about the beer and then let "Don" Cialini add his say as he has that type of humor mastered and his rebuttals are always fun to read.<BR/>What I like to read about is where you've been, what you've found on tap, new beers found, beer events, good beer deals or bar specials, good beer bars... both local and those you've found on your road trips. I liked reading about the Swan Market, What is going on at High Falls, The places you visited in Boston... things like that. Let us know that the new Webster MacGregors has opened and that you went there and what your opinion is of it. Stuff like that is perfect for the blog and I'd be happy to add my thoughts to it.<BR/><BR/>As for extreme beers, I agree with you. I love a good hoppy west coast style IPA but can do without all of the new extreme DIPA's popping up everywheres that have taken things a step further. They are fun to sample in moderation at a beer festival but I would never order a full one while out and about at a bar as I would only be able to drink one or two and then would be done in order to make it home legally. Would hardly be worth making that long drive to and from for only one beer.<BR/>- Jim -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
