Interesting Development

So... we're about to see good beer tallboys.

Quite the development. Although it's hard to argue with getting to buy pints of good beer instead of just 12 ounces, there's something... trashy about tallboys that doesn't quite fit the "good beer" platonic ideal.

I'm sure I'll get over it though.

Cheers!


P.S. As a operational side note, Blogger changed its interface. And now our GBN blog looks even shittier than it did. I suggest someone (read: Eli) fixes this.

Can or Bottle?

Should I Return
By T-VO

Should I return
From my interview
With IPA in hand
Or something new,

Share a prost
To my new career,
And the miracle
Of tasty beer.

But should I show,
Laden with Bud Light,
Please lend a hand,
and get drunk tonight.

GBN Reunion? For realsies?

Umm... so we should get together. In May? Memorial Day Weekend? Austin/Nashville? Let's discuss some possibilities...

New Blog Plug

Friends, I'm inviting you to follow my travels through South and Southeast Asia over the next eight weeks through my new blog: thesweatyamerican.tumblr.com. There isn't much there now, but soon there will be a diary of discomfort for all to enjoy. Hope you enjoy living vicariously through me from the comfort of your temperate climate and bland cuisine. Hope you're all well. After Asia I'll be continuing my next chapter in the Sweatyamerican series with the Sweatyalaskan in Los Angeles. Keep me updated on your whereabouts in June. I'd love to meet up.

I do declare

It is time for another GBN reunion! It's been nearly a year and, although I've had more than my share of great Colorado micros, there has been a poignant absence of the age old GBN tradition in my new rocky mountain home. As GBN's resident Coloradoan, I have a few insider notes on the beer landscape of the state that brought you Coors Light, but really the only appropriate venue for such communications is a common space with a profusion of micro six-packs (and maybe some 12s).
For those of you still in school (which by the way is so 2008) let me know when you get your break and we'll see what we can work out.
Cheers to good beer!
