The First Round

Welcome to 85 Proof: Libations and Lifestyle. An odd mash-up of beer reviews, advice (read rants) and random commentary on life and the pursuit of happiness. Happiness through the amber tones of a micorbrew ale, an alcohol-related joke or the hilarious life and times of a beer addict.


So what exactly are you doing on this blog? Better yet, what am I doing? I'm trying to help those of you who, although it pains me to say, HATE BEER. Now calm down fellow beer lovers, lower your pitchforks. We were all naive once, help me bring them to the light. What I want to offer is a simple, plain English guide to buying, drinking and pairing beer with food and even events. Yes events. Beer is a complex, social beverage and you should be able to enjoy it with everyone. If Hitler can find a soul (term used here loosely) mate and VH1 can find 40 lonely "ladies" to fight over Flava Fla, I can mate you to beer you'll love.




I hope that I make good on these promises in the coming posts. Feel free to add to or challenge anything I write. I welcome the feedback. Cheers!
