Thanks for...Beer!

I have so many substantial things to be thankful for this holiday season, and I'm not embarrassed to count craft beer among them! There are plenty of things which make beer that poignant for me, and here are just a few:

Good beer is a catalyst for good times. Obviously. 

Studying beer has stretched my mind through adventurous discovery--I've learned how chemistry, horticulture, history, and different creative ideologies can combine to create infinite tasty combinations...it's deep, man! 

Becoming a certified beer judge was a big accomplishment for me, an attestation to how far hard work and passion can take me in less than a year of personal study.

Being a craft beer enthusiast has given me the opportunity to bond with like minds, and has allowed me to spread the joy of beer to people who once refused to touch the stuff! 

I'm giving back to the beer community by supporting small businesses who love what they do, and in turn, inspire us to place a little more emphasis on what we love, and a little less emphasis on what  commercial society tells us to value. 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and I can't wait to hear about what bottles you're opening with your turkey today!
