Bio/beer Philosophy:

On a rating hiatus until I can think of a good reason to start again. Still around for the time being.

Each review is a destination along a personal journey of knowledge and enjoyment. Make your best impression at each stop.

Every beer is greater than the sum of its descriptors. Poetry exists in translating themes, not copying dialogue.

Good reviews seek neither length nor brevity, but use the minimal number of words to describe the maximal amount of experience.

Don’t be afraid to score a beer high or low; politely constructive opinions are better than hedged scores.

If you don’t like a particular style keep trying. Meanwhile, don’t publicly critique with bias.

Styles are historical trends. History is (re)written every day but to define the present at the expense of the past cries of lunacy.
