I cannot believe that I have been blogging for a year now. What is more, I cannot believe that in all my searches of news and other sources for beer I haven’t come across the Beer Examiner. It appears the Charlie Papazian updates this almost every day.

Huge thanks to Jason at the Adventurist for pointing this out to me in yesterday’s comments.

When I started brewing seven years ago Mr. Papazian’s book was the second homebrewing book in my collection, and the first I bought. Korzonas’ book was the first and given to me with my kit from my wife.

Why the amazement and attention from me? I can safely say there isn’t one homebrewer who hasn’t heard of Mr. Papazian, unless that person bought the gear from a rummage sale and learned it through trial and error instead of reading.  This fellow is a legend for homebrewers, and his book is a must read. Even if you have three or four other books about homebrewing you have to read this one just to know what the heck other homebrewers are talking about! In those pages we are introduced to the credo of online chatting about homebrewing. RDWHAHB

Relax, Don’t Worry, Have a Homebrew!

I feel woefully abashed that I haven’t found this before. Never fear though, I have subscribed to it.

Check out his blog.

Cheers!
