Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to The Beer Talking. I'm your host, Brian, and I'll be accompanying you on a journey through beer culture.

Here's what you can expect to see on this blog:

• Reviews of exceptional craft beers - especially those that seem to link into the 'zeitgeist' of the craft brewing community, such as it is.
• Profiles and impressions of new and existing craft breweries, predominantly in the Pacific Northwest.
• My (mis)adventures in the art/science of homebrewing.
• Research into pairing beer with food.
• Bird's-eye analysis of trends and developments in the industry, both local and national.

I'll be posting a couple times per week. Here's to the start of a worthy adventure!

Cheers!
