Welcome!



First and foremost, I want to say thank you for stopping by my new Blog. I am new to this but I am going to try to keep this site updated with new beers and tasting notes on a regular basis.

My days of beer drinking started back when I was still in Highschool. Back then I really didn't know good beer from bad beer and drank anything with alcohol in it. You name it, if it is nasty and cheap I have probably drank it. From Hamms to Lucky Lager. From Natty Ice to Keystone Ice. My taste in beer was based on a desire to get drunk and believe me that was the case pretty often.

Years of this caused me to burn out on drinking beer. I took a pretty long break from drinking much beer at all. In fact my beer drinking was so infrequent that my brother often referred to me as a pussy and other kind things like half man and the ever popular Sally. I shrugged off these comments for years all the while not caring if I had another beer.

It was a trip to Las Vegas by my fiance that rekindled the beer drinking spirit inside of me. Her and a good friend headed off for a girls night out trip to Vegas. On this trip she decided to have lunch at a fine little burger shop called Burger Bar Las Vegas in Mandalay Bay. At the recommendation of one of our friends she had a Chimay White. She ended up loving this beer and coming back home singing praises about this monk made ale. I had to try one for myself. Following a stop at Bevmo I finally got to taste my first Chimay. It was that fateful first drink of this amazing trappist ale that started my beer drinking days anew!

Thankfully I have gotten older and wiser when it comes to my taste in beers. I go for quality not quantity now. With the help of my wonderful fiance who has become a beer researching fanatic, I have had the opportunity to locate and drink some amazing beers. This blog will be dedicated to my impressions and beer drinking tales. Please feel free to agree, disagree, debate, or just say you have no f-ing clue what you are talking about. Any feedback is good feedback so I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers!
Cromster
