First Month Update
What a great start to my Year of Beer. I started it on my birthday which was August 30th so today is the first day of my second month and I thought it would be appropriate to give you a quick summary of what has gone on so far.
First, I will say I am amazed at how awesome my wife has been through all of this. She is almost as excited as I have been. She doesn’t enjoy a lot of the beers I like but she is certainly expanding her horizons and enjoying the trips to the breweries and brewpubs that we have been visiting.
So far, this month, I have brewed a batch of Irish Stout, started and almost finished The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing, visited 6 breweries, tried 32 new beers, reviewed 1 beer, joined the American Homebrew Association and got and read my first issue of Brew Your Own Magazine.
I don’t know about you but I would say that was a pretty great month!

I’d agree! If you keep that pace up you’re going to be a beer super-geek by next August! Really glad I found your site because I think this is going to be a very interesting journey!

Haha, I hope so! It’s going to be VERY difficult to top this first year.
