If anyone was kind enough to follow my posts for a while you might have noticed that I took a bit of Sabbatical so-to-speak. That doesn't mean I did not drink beer of course, but I did not necessarily drink only local beers (or "craft" as the more popular nomenclature would dictate) and not nearly as much as I used to. I also stopped brewing for a short while and stepped out of the beer scene completely in an effort to clear my head, take away my preconceptions and to come back with a clean palate and a fresh hunger for brewing and some good beer experiences or "beersperiences" if you are one for contracting words into cute beergrams (damn, I did it again). The last event I attended was the Cape Town Festival of Beer and I have purposefully missed out on other things since, especially seeing as I seem to constantly have a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully after this near six month break, I can steer my focus towards my love for beer, for brewing and sharing my experience and possibly that of other brewers through the "Home Brew Hero" style posts. It just feels like I was getting lost in the hype and getting chewed up by everyone trying to make a few bucks by selling craft... Well, before I get carried away with millions of reasons and excuses and promises of things to come let me just crack on and welcome you back to my blog. If you are a new reader, welcome back to you too as nothing here will change from what you see (hope that makes sense). I look forward to delighting you with my brewing stories, tips, mistakes and other quirky posts as we indulge our shared love for this wonderful beverage. Feel free to chip in, comment, criticise, advise or even flaterize (last one, I promise!) if you come across something you feel you can relate to or feel passionate enough about to speak up - that's what this is all about, don't just take my word for things...GET INVOLVED!!!

About me
Recently enlightened by the exciting world of craft beer I have been falling in love with new flavors, colors and smells. I do not consider myself a professional brewer (yet), but I am an enthusiast and passionate about beer and that is all that matters... Archives
