In the beginning...

This all started with a book that we got for Christmas. Wait... perhaps I should tell you who "we" are. That would help a bit since "we" includes my partner in crime and beer-consumption, Wilhelm. Anyhow, we received a book called Christmas Beer by Don Russell. Greatest. Book. Ever. It contains the history of Christmas and beer! Not to mention the the top 50 (yes, 50!) best Christmas beers in the world... and it's a big world! As if that wasn't enough, after the Top 50 list, there's another 100 or so more beers to enjoy for Christmas.

After a slight aneurysm, I had an idea. Why don't I make a New Year Resolution to drink more beer! Well, not more beer per se, but expand my horizons. Drink those beers that I see at the liquor store and go, "that looks interesting/gross/scary/tasty... maybe next time". Well, no more next time. I'm going to try new beers, in addition to my favorites, and I'm gonna tell you all about them! Living in Colorado, it would be absolute madness not to get started with a local brew. So thanks to Jack, we're going to start with Big Shot from the Fort Collins Brewery. Stay tuned...
