Those Beer Bloggin Bastards

Money – You’ll need It If you intend on making the 2011 Beer Bloggers Conference in Portland.

by Ilya Feynberg on May 22, 2011

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...]

A New Post. A Quick Update. A New Format. A Quick Thanks, & Damn This Beer I’m Drinking As I Write This Is Good!

The BBC10 Passion Board. Ya'll Are On My Wall...How Creepy...

I know you guys. I know you well (especially after this weekends Beer Bloggers Conference) so I’ll start this post with the thing that interests you most about that title above….

…I’m currently drinking a Fullers 1845 and man I’ve missed traditional English Ale’s. Came back from Boulder, Colorado with a huge craving for them which of course is largely thanks to Ryan Murphy from The Daily Pint who goes by @SP1365 on Twitter. His talk about the more simple and traditional English Ale’s got me thinking “I need one…now!”.

Ok, that’s all on that subject guys. Now that you know what I’m drinking we can get on to the “serious business”.

A New Post.

Yep, I know, I know. Finally right?

When a Beer Bloggin’ Bastard Helps His Fellow Bastards…BIG THINGS Happen! I Introduce To You, The Very First…

by Ilya Feynberg on September 23, 2010

A man standing on a giant peppermint candy. Or a Keg...either or.

This is going to be a pretty quick post to get things off and running, but I want to make sure that everyone understands the impact of everything you’ll read and see right now.

For once, I’m going to say that I believe that I speak for just about everyone when I say that this is a HUGE deal. Bigger than big. Bigger than bigger than big. Almost like…super duper uber Beer Bloggin’ Bastard worthy Big!

As some of you might already know, the annual Wine Bloggers Conference has for some time, run a scholarship program of sorts for wine bloggers that are in need of financial assistance to make the trip. This has not only been a huge aid to wine bloggers  wanting to but not being able to financially make the trip, BUT in my opinion it’s had a bigger impact than simply helping to fund a blogger’s trip.

It’s shown that when a community of passionate people get together, actually give a shit about others, and work hard to make sure that their passion is shared and spread across the world…anything is possible.

So with out further ado….

Why Are YOU a Beer Bloggin’ Bastard? What’s Your Purpose? Why Did YOU Decide To “Be One of Us Now”?

by Ilya Feynberg on August 27, 2010

What beer bloggers actually look like in real life...

Blogs. Beer. Opinions. Discussion.

Am I the only one that thinks that those four things come together in a magical way to create some sort of beer lovers paradise?

Um…no. I’m not. I know this because I’m either a genius, or because there are THOUSANDS of beer fanatics that take to blogging…and that do a far better job at it than I do. So I’m not the only one to think “Hey! All of this just meshes perfectly!”

It’s almost certain that if you’re here on Damn That’s Good Beer! and reading this post, you love beer. And I would also venture as far as to say that an overwhelming amount of  those reading this post and these very words right now, are beer bloggers.

You know. People who blog. Blog about beer. Something to do with beer. I like to refer to us all as Beer Bloggin’ Bastards. But that’s just me and my twisted beer obsessed mind.
