Wow, I have been quiet, haven't I? There's been a whole bunch of stuff happening and I just haven't had any time to blog or write.
What kind of stuff, you ask? Well, I guess the big thing is that I recently turned thirty. (Woo! Congrats to me for not dying so far!) I had, without a shadow of doubt, the best party of my thirty years. It was at a little place you may have heard of called The Local Taphouse. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, plenty non-beer-drinkers were trying things – the aunties especially found a friend in the Bridge Road Chevalier Saison – the food was great, of course, and I'd just like to thank the Taphouse publicly, even though they made away with a fair amount of my money and that's probably all the thanks they were looking for. Ha!
Scored some amazing beer-related gifts, one in particular I will have to write all about in the coming month and a half.
I would be remiss if I didn't throw in an almighty plug for the The Beer Lover's Guide to Australia 2011. As well as being the only reference to Australia's breweries and venues you'll surely ever need – until next year's edition – it features a piece by yours-truly! It's also nicely designed and looks pretty. You like things that look pretty, right? It's the result of a lot of hard work by people who are not me, and I'm very proud to be published in it. I'd be very keen to hear what anyone thinks of my piece if you care to spend the time.
Oh, and please excuse my photo on the contributors page. There was actually a Little Creatures Pale in that photo somewhere. I promise from now on I'll use this one. I always wanted a photo of me with a beer, leaning on somethingorother. Oh yeah.
Actual blog soon.
