Every day, another stupid one-off review copied and pasted from my lazy RateBeer profile taken with a camera on \u2018auto\u2019 mode. I get it. That gets really boring. Obviously, I\u2019m still drinking quality beers with great friends and have thinned out my cellar quite a bit. I\u2019m drinking a lot more Hill Farmstead beers and whatever is on tap at brew pubs while traveling.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also hard to go out much lately with so much now dumping on us around the east coast. Finally, I\u2019m traveling a ton for work so I haven\u2019t made it out to acquire a lot of new beers lately.<\/p>\n<p>My carboys are full of sour beer, my kegerator is also full. I haven\u2019t done many verticals or horizontals or experiments with yeast strains, etc. I\u2019ve just been sort of drinking and working a lot and that\u2019s it and the blog reflects that. Most nights, I\u2019m just drinking Bourbon County Coffee from the sixtel I picked up in November or cracking open a growler of Abner or enjoying Arthur. It\u2019s a pretty boring, standard existence in the beer world and my bank account reflects the reduced spending \/ trading which is VERY nice.<\/p>\n<p>Homebrewing will pick back up this summer, and there will certainly be some HUGE beer-porn \/ hauls getting posted after my upcoming trips to Canada &amp; Belgium. There\u2019s a lot to share in the coming months and I apologize that most of the content is just beer reviews. I queue up these posts weeks in advance so there\u2019s a new beer review every day from now until the 2nd week of March.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and I hope ya\u2019ll are staying warm wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and here\u2019s a look at what posts are coming up if you\u2019re into really following this stuff closely: I\u2019m sure the Facebook beer group is on the edge of their seats to see what I rate these beers that I\u2019ve already rated over on RateBeer. MUCH SUSPENSE. INSANE CLIMAX. GOOD PIX.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Screen Shot 2014 02 20 at 12 32 12 PM\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"253\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/adam-jackson.net\/beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-20-at-12.32.12-PM.png\" ><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I know it\u2019s been a bit boring on this blog lately.
