I live in the "Center-West" of France. Always nice to meet people sharing and trading a few beers :)

Lessons learned in...

2011 : RB is great !

2012 : Rating is so hard... How ?!?!?...

2013 : Rating needs time, consistency (and a pen) and boldness.

2014 : Serving temperatures matters.

2015 : Storing conditions matters.

2016 : Tasting conditions matters. Sometimes, this is simply not the time...

2017 : Respect brewer's intent.

2018 : Trust your instincts and authenticity ! Each rating is a piece of my life.

"Lara walked along the tracks following a path worn by pilgrims and then turned into the fields. Here she stopped and, closing her eyes, took a deep breath of the flower-scented air of the broad expanse around her. It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a book.
