First off who is the Beer Baron? Well the answer to that is easy. It is no one, but it is who I strive to become. I want to be in the middle of the Beer Revolution that has sprung up all around us in the Great Midwest. I want to be a teacher, a mentor, a resource, I want to be YOUR buddy who hands you a cold one. Yes, I want to be THAT Beer Baron.
Part of that is why I started this blog. I knew I wanted Beer Reviews, Homebrew News, Beer Studies, but I felt there was something missing. So I thought about the blogs that I read. One of them is called Making Magic. Its a weekly post by Mark Rosewater, Lead Designer for the game Magic: The Gathering, a game I haven't played in over three years. But I keep going back to read this article. He puts a great personal twist about how is personal life helped to shape the game, and how the game shapes his personal life. He tells these great stories that suck you in, and helps explore human psychology. He identifies and recognizes the mistakes he makes (both personal, and in his job). I am mesmerized by how this man writes about everyday things. I realized this is what our blog needs to go from good to great.
So here is my introduction to that personal twist. In these articles we will talk about how I became involved with beer, why I drink it, and I might even share some of my personnel favorites and failures. So kick back and enjoy a cold one, because it is time for the Rise of the Beer Baron!
Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing back from you!
