Like Marin Brewing Companies Blueberry Ale, or the Live Oak "Big Bark Amber" from Texas! Thanks for reading :-)

10/17/08: New reviews posted (18 total now!). Jacks Pumpkin Spice Ale and the Full Moon Winter Ale. I'd like to set the record straight on one more thing. This is a VERY new site, so I'm kinda learning as I go. I realize that most the beers so far have received A's and B's in my book. That's cause I'm the one drinking the beer - and so far, I've been drinking good beers! Or at least beers that I've heard are good and I should try. And to be honest and truthful, I'm not gonna give a beer a bad grade to increase my credibility. If a beer is genuinely good - I'll represent it as such! But don't you fret - I've got a whole fridge full of toss ups which I have no idea or expectations of that I'm looking forward to drinking. So please - keep checking back here. I'll drink some bad beer for ya soon ;-)

10/10/08: WOW! Check out the NEW format for the Beer page! Looks more like a chapter index now. Hopefully this makes it much easier to navigate and explore the beers. Let me know what you think. My contact info is on the About Me page :-)

10/09/08: As difficult as it's been to go the last 24 hours without any food, water or beer (Yom Kippur) - I did manage to finish writing and posting 4 new reviews. The Gulden Draak, Tranquair, Hitachino White and Petalumas own Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout. Read all about it here.

10/7/08: Happy New Year to my fellow tribe members! This year, I resolve to drink more beer - and write about most ;-) On that note. After one short month - WWED has turned 10! 10 reviews posted on the Beer page! I'm working on a new, easier layout to find the reviews. But for now, they are listed alphabetically by the brewery or most commonly referred to name. Also coming soon - an e-mail list, RSS feed, and even MORE reviews! Thanks for reading...
