A note on beer reviews

Now that I’ve gotten my feet wet with a few beer reviews, I thought I’d write a quick note about what I hope to accomplish. The local (and national) craft beer market seems to change on a daily basis, with new brewers opening and new beers hitting the shelves. It has gotten to the point that walking into a liquor store with a good craft beer selection is a little daunting. There are so many choices that it becomes easy to either fall back on things you know, or to grab something you’ve never tried and hope for the best. While I like the grab something and try it method, It is always nice to get recommendations.

I hope to start each review by giving a little info, either on the brewer or the style of beer. Then I’ll go into my experience, what I see, smell and taste when I drink the beer. Finally, I am going to give the beer a score on a 1-5 scale based on my enjoyment. I know everyone has different tastes and a beer that I love might not work for someone else. Hopefully I’ll give my readers some ideas of fun new things to try, or old favorites to pick up the next time you see them. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
