Why?
Because I’m taking incredible things away with me from this blog, and moving on to something that I feel very strongly about. Something I believe can make the world a better place. By now, most of you already know that I’m referring to Dare To Eat. It might look like just a food blog for now, but rest assured that it won’t stay that way 
.
But at the top of that “incredible things I’m taking away” list is you guys. All of you. More than anything else, I’m incredibly grateful for having the opportunity to meet so many in the craft beer community. Online, and offline. You’ve made all the difference in the world for me. A comment, a tweet, an email, or sharing a real beer with one another…that’s where all the great times were. Not the writing or the HTML, or my alcoholic squirrel above…
…it was you guys. It was always you guys, and always will be.
Now before we all get all emotional here (it’s probably just me), I want to make it very clear that I’m not exactly leaving. I’m always on Twitter, my email address has not changed, my phone number is the same, my blog won’t even be coming down. I’m simply moving on to something else. Something that still includes craft beer and even a couple folks we all know and love.
Ladies and gents, you alone have made this an experience to remember. I will always love you guys for it.
I know this kind of sounds like “thank you for everything and goodbye”, but there will be no goodbye. I don’t intend on saying goodbye. I don’t want to. I don’t need to. I want you guys in my life, and I want to be apart of yours, and not in the creepy way (cough cough, Gerard).
I’m not leaving Twitter, email, Facebook and so on….but I will see you guys soon someplace new.
Love you guys!

It hasn’t really been much of a secret. If you have spent any time considering to attend the Beer Bloggers Conference in Portland Oregon later this year in August most of us have found one glaring problem…it’s stupid expensive.
With round trip plane tickets ranging from $400-$600 a ticket, then the need for hotel stay, food, beer (duh) etc many of us are having a hard time pulling it off, and many just can’t pull it off. Unless, [Read It All Here Beerling...]

Count the days since new years, you Beer Bloggin’ Bastard you. At the time of writing this, it’s been 30 full days since 2011 began. The last full year before the end of the world…some from California will say.
You remember what we spoke about last time, you can read it right here -> Class Begins Now - no need to repeat my exciting self to you.
Long story short, I went on about how the generally accepted idea of “not being able to make money from Beer Bloggin” or how “one can’t really ever expect any real type of income” or “how one can’t build a brand and or business” from their efforts is well…incredibly stupid and just plain freaking wrong. Don’t argue with me, I promise you I’m right on this one. Almost a decade of internet marketing experience and a job in the field will do that to you.
It’s been a while since I last posted anything up. Actually…shit…it’s been a little over a month. Well I’m here now in the virtual “flesh” and since this is the first post after the fact, I need to bring up the question.
What have you done with your Beer Bloggin’ life since the new year started?
I could care less about the new blog widgets you installed, the new theme you’re running, new posts about new beers you’ve tried etc. [Read It All Here Beerling...]

Ok guys and gals. As the title suggests, this post has nothing to do with beer (other than me enjoying a Saint Arnold’s Divine 10 as I write this), and everything to do with what it means to be human. If you know me already and follow me anywhere online, be it Twitter, Facebook, my blog etc you’ll already know that I’ve never asked anyone to “PLEASE READ” a post of mine, but this one is different. Very different.
I feel the need to get this across to everyone now, as it was something that just occurred to me a few short hours ago. Also, I just think it’s important that people read this, let it sink in, and really think it through. For me personally, it was nothing short of a life changing experience. It’s still difficult to put it into words as I’m still trying to figure out which emotions are really behind it all right now.
I’ll try and not turn this into a long 5,000 word post. I’m just going to put it out there, let you decide on your own how you feel about it, what you think about it, and then discuss.
So here’s the story…

This is the extent of my graphic design ability. I'm damn good huh
Most of you are in “the know” as to what I’ve been up to as of late (well kind of). If you read that post below, you’ll see that I’ve been talking about moving over to a video format all together for some time now, and that the post below was supposed to be one of my last fully written posts…at least for a while.
But wait a tick, this isn’t a that you’re reading video (can you read video), it’s not a podcast, and it sure as shit isn’t being transmitted via mind waves to play via your head movies. So what deal right? Why I be playin’ you like that?
Well firstly know this; none of this was ever meant to be a marketing ploy or anything even remotely like that. It really was supposed to be a smooth transition over to video. While filming the first quick intro video a couple days ago my camera just stopped working. It pooped out on me with a zipping noise and it was no more. Still don’t know what’s wrong with it. Just like that, half way through filming what I still believe to be the sexiest video of any Beer Bloggin’ Bastard anywhere. Oh well…we’ll all find ways to move on.
So I’m saying hello to an old and very welcome friend. One that still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, gives me the ability to divulge far more detailed information, and doesn’t require assistance from Billy Broas geek side.
