"Hey Cooking Lager, I agree, yet it is interesting to see how judgmental some beer critics can be. I like the flavors and the IPAs and other beers, but some seem to think that real men and real women don't touch flavored beers. I say, viva la…"

Tell us about yourself!
New blogger who enjoys the variety of craft beers (especially flavored) and getting out and tasting new beers. Based in FL where craft breweries are still very much a novelty. Fortunately the big brewers have taken the lock off and we now can import craft beers and micro brew beers to FL!

Life is just too short for Budweiser.
How did you get started as a beer blogger?
Purely interest. Don't have a big following yet. Willing to promote other blogs and share ideas! Thanks for reading.
I am interested in
collaboration, guest posting, meetups, conferences, trading links, helping new bloggers, recieving advice
