Don’t Call It A Comeback…Yet
I’ve been away from the blog for too long. 2009 went by in a blur. There were trips to SF and Philly Beer Weeks. There was a job at Bottleworks that started in May. There was a helluva a lot of drinking. It was a good year, but also an exhausting one.
2010 has started off much the same. I’m heading to SF for Beer Week in early February, I’m still working at Bottleworks and I’m still drinking more beer than a doctor would recommend.
At the same time, 2010 is going to be different. My days at Bottleworks are numbered. I’ve turned in my notice, the hiring process is rolling along and my replacement should be chosen soon. I’ll miss working there, but I’m going to enjoy having more free time.
I hope to use some of that time to blog again. While I’ll still write here, I’ll also be contributing to Geoff Kaiser’s Seattle Beer News. My first post for SBN appeared last week.
As for what to expect here, I have a few ideas. One is reviewing a bar each week. So far, I’ve been to the Pacific Inn Pub in Fremont and the Galway Arms in the U District. Look for posts on those soon.
If you have any ideas for other weekly themes, fire away in the comments. We’ll see if I can get this thing rolling again… at least for a little while.

Super duper.
I’ve enjoyed reading your older posts, but was wondering if you were in jail or something. (Can one blog from jail?)
How’s that beer-a-day thing going at Bottleworks?

Dave–My jail has been working 55-60 hours a week. I’ve been drinking a lot of beer and going to different events and shit, but haven’t had the time or gumption to write (cept for that post on Kaiser’s blog last week).
The beer-a-day thing was another one of my great ideas that I executed for like 2 weeks and then gave up on. It took too much discipline. I’m still drinking my way through the Bottleworks inventory, just not documenting it.
