still sort of a blip of thought process and nothing really concrete but I\u2019ve been thinking about doing more non-beer stuff. Obviously, it\u2019s my blog and I can do what I want but the feedback is valuable. Ten years ago, I had almost a dozen blogs on every subject matter that interested me. I merged them all together in 2009 and the single blog never really outpaced the separate blogs in traffic because the niche audiences only interested in technology didn\u2019t want to hear about my travel stories. This is what I plan on adding over the coming months:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Food Pairings<\/li>\n<li>Vermont beer news, reviews &amp; travel tips<\/li>\n<li>Bourbon Reviews<\/li>\n<li>Wine Reviews<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I\u2019ve thought about adding content that <a href=\"https:\/\/beerservedrare.wordpress.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Beer Served Rare<\/a> is doing and post about releases but that blog is great and they do a fine job without me adding to the noise.<a href=\"http:\/\/thefuj.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> The Fuj<\/a> does a great job of covering general adventures in beer like \u201chere\u2019s some stuff I\u2019m up to lately\u201d and catalouging it in photos. I can\u2019t produce his quality of publication but you guys should add him to your bookmarks.<\/p>\n<p>Beer will remain the focus of this blog but if I\u2019m drinking a glass of wine or enjoy how well an ale pairs with something I cooked, it would be nice to share that here without a fear or losing readership. If you have thoughts, I\u2019m all ears.<\/p>\n<p>While I have you, I run a beer tasting group for normal beer drinkers in my area. That\u2019s really the best way to describe it. They don\u2019t rate or trade beers or hang out on booze forums and we meet up twice a month at local events or after work. If you\u2019re in Central VT\/NH area, let me know and I\u2019ll send you details to the group mailing list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is still sort of a blip of thought process and nothing really concrete but I\u2019ve been thinking&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-07T17:25:12Z","apple_news_api_id":"42f0c83e-094c-4d4a-bc1d-f7b5e124adab","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-07T17:25:16Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AQvDIPglMTUq8Hfe14SStqw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-site-news","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-uM","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3767,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2012\/06\/08\/site-news-a-look-at-my-traffic-statistics\/","url_meta":{"origin":1908,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Site News: A look at my traffic statistics","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 8, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"Every once in a while which is usually once a year, I post my stats.
