Beer Bloggers International
December 21, 2007 by knutalbert
The wonderful world of beer blogging developed further in 2007, with lots of good beer writing around the globe. There is more beer good beer journalism on the web than in print now, and I admit that I’m not able to follow all the beer blogs out there.
Some members of this fraternity have the advantage of writing in their mother tongue, which makes for better grammar and a more elegant language than I am able to muster. They even avoid the basic spelling mistakes.
There was a historic moment during the Pig’s Ear Beer Festival when three beer bloggers from three countries met, Stonch from England, The Beer Nut from Ireland and your correspondent. (You might wonder if the beer world is populated by persons with funny names. They are actually called Jeff and John!) Good meeting both of you!
I’m afraid maieb had just left the festival when The Beer Nut and I arrived. Maybe next time?
And we missed Alan, too, the Godfather of beer bloggers.
Look out for Stonch’s Beer Nut ventriloquism act coming your way in 2008.
Gottle of gear…
It does look a bit like I’m controlling you from the rear. Dodgy.
Goes some way to explain the expression on my face, I suppose.
Note the Hand of God reaching in from the right to grab that pint in front of me. Good job Knut was able to take it off at the elbow with a cleaver just after the picture was taken.
When beer bloggers from beer deprived countries get access to real ale, we will use all means avaialbe to protect it!
Quite the rogues gallery pictured there. And this is no time for pictures… mind that pint!
Someday! Maybe you need to get to N. America - though that is no promise either what with these kids.
