GABF came and went. Man it goes fast.
I gave you some of my favorites from the first session. The Saturday afternoon session was my second and final one. Many, many beers were consumed, but here are the standouts:

Quick post here. I went to last night’s Great American Beer Festival session, and as you might have guessed, I drank some phenomenal beers. Here’s a rundown.

It’s hard to believe, but today is the two year anniversary of this blog.
Man a lot has happened. I’ve met a ton of cool people, drank copious amounts of delicious beer, and even launched a business over at The Homebrew Academy.
To celebrate, I’m going to highlight the top posts from the blog. I didn’t celebrate the 1 year anniversary, which in a way is nice because it gives me 2 whole years of posts to choose from.
These are based on site stats, buzz in social media, and some of my favorites.
I hope you enjoy. Thanks to all my readers for making this thing fun and here’s to many more years of writing about the good stuff.

Well, I’ve finally moved out of the Stone Age. I got a smartphone.
For being a pretty tech-savvy guy, it’s surprising that it took me this long to ditch the mini-fridge. I wish I did it sooner because this Galaxy Nexus is sweeeet.

You drink good beer, now it’s time to decorate your house with it. So take down that blinking neon Busch Light sign and put up something classy.

Every now and then I do a contest for my newsletter readers where I ask them a question and the randomly selected winner gets a box of my homebrew mailed to them.
About a month ago we did a contest where I asked – “What are you drinking for Thanksgiving?”
It was still October so I wasn’t sure what the response would be. Would people have put any thought into what they’re drinking a month from now?
Rule #1 – Never doubt the resolve of craft beer drinkers.

Have you heard about the tweeting, beer dispensing vending machine named Arnie?
In short, it’s for the employees of the Arnold advertising agency in Boston. Talk about a pleasant work environment.
As a beer geek, I wanted to find out more about the brews this thing is popping out. Below is a Q&A with Greg Murphy, the self described Social Media Manager and Resident Brew Master at Arnold Worldwide.

The Great American Beer Festival came to an end last weekend, and now that the fog has cleared I can recount the past week’s events.
This was my second GABF and this year managed to outdo last year.
If you haven’t had the chance to attend a GABF, it’s as much about the events outside the festival as it is the festival itself.
Here are my highlights:

Last year was my first Great American Beer Festival. What’s the most important thing I learned? Get yourself a strategy.
I THOUGHT I had a strategy last year – “Yea I’ll check out Dogfish, maybe see what Pizza Port is serving, yada yada yada….”
Didn’t work. After a few beers and being caught up in the excitement, my plan went down the shitter and I was playing GABF whack a mole.
This year will be different.

Important September events:
- The Great American Beer Festival
- The arrival of wet hop beers
- My 27th birthday
We’ll focus on #1 today, talk about #2 later this month, and totally forget about #3 because honestly who cares after you turn 21.
