Welcome Beer Buddies

Everyone remembers that first time they were at a party or out with friends and someone gave them a beer.  Generally its one of big mainstream beers like a Bud, Coors, or maybe even a Corona.  I know my first beer was a Bud and I vividly remember that the fern in the corner drank more of it then I did.  Lots of people go forward from that first beer thinking that all beer is watery tasteless death and will tell you that they don't like beer. The problem isn't that they don't like beer. The problem is that they have never had any REAL beer.  My first job upon moving to Cincinnati about a dozen years ago is partially to blame for the hophead I've become.  We often shared a six pack of good beer at the end of a long day and I quickly came to realize how good a beer could be.  I am now addicted to the places that let you "pick-a-six" in my seemingly endless search for the perfect beer.  I do enjoy many types of beer from IPA to stout to porter as well as fruity brews.  As I explore all the beers I can get my hands on in lovely Charlotte, NC I will share my findings with you.  I would love to hear from all of you too. If you know a brew I should check out let me know.  (I need all the excuses I can get to buy more beer.)  For this, my first hello to the world as I build my blog, I am including rather then a review, a link to a lady who makes very cool things from six pack holders and bottle caps.  Check her out at Mindy's Designs.  Oh how i would rock her Ska headband. . .maybe if I am good all year and ask Santa.  So to all of you I say thanks for stopping by, I look forward to seeing you again, and most of all. . .Cheers :)
