Welcome to You've Got Ale

I remember my first beer. It was horrible. It was a little bit like licking an ashtray. My second beer was also horrible. Licking the ashtray and chewing up the butts. The third was not so horrible. The forth, fifth and sixth beer were... well, not *good*, but they were doing the trick. After that my memory was pretty much toast.
So, how do you go from being a beer swilling teenager to being a beer snob? Years of practice and a preference for flavor over buzz. Not that I mind getting drunk, it just wasn't enough. Over time I've come to like good beer and not like crappy beer. It doesn't stop me from drinking the occasional crappy beer. Such is our relationship to beer.
In this blog, I'll share my thoughts on beer and I hope you'll share yours as well.
Cheers!
