Hi All.

Glad to be a member of this network. I joined a few groups that I think will interest me (Dark Side and Belgian Luv) and hopefully I can contribute as well. I've always loved both dark and Belgian styled beers.

I am really glad to find groups and networks like this. I've been writing a beer blog Daily Beer Review http://www.DailyBeerReview.com/ for about 4 months now. If you get a chance, stop by and let me know what you think or any suggestions you have.

Glad to be here.

Welcome, Beer Drinker. I've found great warmth and community here, and I think you will too. I just checked out your blog -- I love what your doing, and it looks like you are on a straight path to hefty craft styles. I wonder how you feel about Victory Hop Wallop, Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout, or Stone Ruination? I love sharing my notes, and my blog is http://beercritic.wordpress.com. Nice to meet you, and cheers!

Hey John.

Thanks for the recommendation on the Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout. I picked up a bottle last night and just finished it. I got the Stone Ruination too but haven't cracked it open yet and Victory Hop Wallop, well that isn't in my local Total Wine & More. I'll have to figure something out.

Here are my notes. I checked yours too and see you have this #5 all time. Yeah, it is great, isn't it :)

Anyway, my blog is a bit more sarcastic and less formal than yours but I hope you'll take a look at what I think of the Yeti and his beer.

Talk to you soon.

Hey, Beer Drinker! I love your post, and I agree with everything you said there. I also still stand by my other recommendations, for sure. If you like hops and/or high ABV, there are a million satisfying options. You, my friend, are in the right place. Cheers! BTW, just blogrolled your site on BC. j.

Hey John.

One more. I took one of your other suggestions on Stone Ruination IPA and here's the results. Thanks again. I check out your post of that too. Similar yet different. Good choice, not my favorite but I can see how it could be with some imagination.

Yeah! I know... it's unbalanced, but easily one of my fave brews. Cheers, Beer Drinker!
