Wow!
Would you believe we’ve reached 1,000 articles here on Hop Talk? We hit the milestone with Beer-a-Day #179: Hoegaarden. It took us a little less than three years to get here from Ron’s first post back in July, 2006. (Qualified? Check.)
Did I expect to reach this milestone? I’m not sure. Frankly, I don’t think I [...]

Today marks the two year anniversary of the launch of Hop Talk. Two years! Can you believe it?

So, I’m sitting there asking myself… what are your qualifications? I mean, who am ‘I’ to write about beer, styles of beer, the history of beer, the brewing of beer, and what separates a good beer from a great beer?
