I think my reviews will mature along with my taste over time. But you are correct, not much point in focusing on the negative... Beer is about fun and good times, so it should be with beer blogging.Bryonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477503566985637974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-57462421351501003742008-04-17T22:03:00.000-04:002008-04-17T22:03:00.000-04:00Interesting post, sir, and I'm glad I found it.

If you look at ratebeer's top picks, they are mostly imperial stouts, double IPAs, and the like. What about a good lager? Sometimes balance and subtlety are the mark of a good brewer.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308603520332211448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-42915236513994172412008-04-13T20:49:00.000-04:002008-04-13T20:49:00.000-04:00Thanks Alan.
