I read as many as I can but there are only so many hours in the day! One of my favorites, which you already have in your roll is the Brookston Beer Bulletin. My <a href="http://beer.about.com/b/" rel="nofollow">beer blog</a> falls into the news category of the three categories described above. So, I keep a Google alert going which serves me daily headlines and blog entries containing key phrases like beer, ale, lager, brewery, etc. (That's how I found this entry. I'm behind and doing some Sunday inbox cleaning.) I've also recently started writing for a <a href="http://www.boozingear.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">beer and liquor blog</a> so I added another alert for phrases like rum, whiskey, whisky, etc. This usually give me plenty to write about and keeps me more or less plugged into the blogging community - when I stay caught up, that is! Cheers! You’re right about there being lots of beer blogs out there; too many to keep up with, really. I read as many as I can but there are only so many hours in the day!

I just noticed you already have me listed (as I do you). Sorry about that. Incidentally, you might be interested in my latest post, since it entails using gluten-free bres in a mixed-tasting. Ooops.

I appreciate that you guys like my blog. As far as what I read, let me premise this with a quick differentiation on beer blogging. From what I have see there are three basic kinds of brew blogs, the tasting, the making (homebrew if you will) and the beer news. Now obviously there is overlap, but for the most part I have found that the beer blogs out there, the majority of the content falls into one of the three categories. My blog has been focused on homebrew, so here are the four http://badbensnanobrewery.blogspot.com/index.html http://blog.geirove.org/index.html http://www.tedbrews.com/index.html http://job.zamoose.org/ (a little slow to update with new content) http://sudspundit.blogspot.com/index.html (this is a mix local brews news and homebrew) Now I am a fan of hop-talk for my beer news and tasting. It looks as though your blog roll covers all the brew news and most of the tasting I do, but here are a couple of others: http://bieredetable.com/ (this guy had one of the most comprehensive blogs on beer tasting I have ever seen, but has gone under for the last month or so) http://thomsbeerblog.blogspot.com/index.html (this guy does some great reviews of beers from all over) So that about sums up my blog reading. I am working on a sidebar for my blog so I will be sure to ad hop-talk. Thanks again. Travis First off thanks for the ad to the sidebar! I appreciate that you guys like my blog.

Essentially we're 3-4 guys homebrewing our way into a viable business. We hope to open a micro in 2 years or so and we're chronicling our journey to the promised land. That said, there are a few lesser known blogs that I've been enjoying lately. 1) Bostonbeerman's blog: http://bostonbeerman.blogspot.com/ I like his perspective and challenging questions (especially the ones related to marketing!). He does a good job of interspersing beer reviews with more social content. 2) Foureyed (Beer) Geek's blog: http://thefoureyedbeergeek.blogspot.com/ This guy is just starting down the homebrewing path and it has been very interesting (and entertaining) to share in his initial struggles and successes.
