Profile Information
- Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
- Being the "founder of the feast," so to speak, I suppose I had better remain objective. Suffice to say there are few styles I don't like in some measure. No matter the style, or sub-style, every beer has some redeeming quality or it wouldn't be beer at all ... how's that for dancing around the question? Who writes this stuff, anyway? Ohhh ... never mind.
- Who am I?:
- Proud husband, father and founder of beerphilosopher.com and the Aleuminati here. I am a freelance beer writer and certified beer geek (sans beer gut, thank you). Although the afore-mentioned are my primary haunts, I am also an editor and beer-channel steward for helium.com.
Let's see ... I'm ordained (don't ask), have a black belt ... and hate eggplant. That's important.
Oh, and back to the beer ... I'm a home brewer of questionable talent.
The rest of the stuff is pretty boring.
- Do you have a website? If so, what's the URL?
- www.beerphilosopher.com
- How did you find out about the Aleuminati?
- It just came to me one day and I know I had to do something with it! So I did.
- Were you referred by anyone? If so, who? (screen name)
- I talk to myself a lot.

Christmas in July ... or Drinking Non-Seasonally.
In keeping with the spirit of the theme for this month's Session, hosted by Rob over at Pfiff!, I have decided to do several things in an unorthodox manner. First, I waited until today (July 5th) to post my contribution. Sorry to everyone who, I know, was waiting with bated breath for me to chime in (not). Admittedly it isn't so much that I decided to do it this way, but this little event called… Continue Posted on July 5, 2008 at 4:00pm — 3 Comments

Beer Newbies ... or Brewbies!
Though the majority of our Aleuminati brethren are erudite beer scholars obviously, there may be a few among us who are relatively new to better beer and could use a crash coarse in serious beer geekdom. If you are such an individual, please allow me to direct you to a couple of resources I posted months ago on other sites:

The Aleuminati Beer Council
So here's an idea I"ve been mulling around for a while. Let me know if you guys think it would be a fun idea, and more specifically if you'd be interested in participating. By the same token, let me know if you think it is lame and to keep my ideas to myself from now on ...!
What if we did an official Aleuminati Beer Council ( the ABC, of course ... ), convening virtually either once a quarter or once a month right here on the Aleuminati to collectively review and… Continue

I tried to contact you when I was in Southern Illinois during Thanksgiving week. My wife's from West Frankfort and still has lots of family there.
Next time?

Reuben said… - Hey, man. Thanks for the tips and comments about the fermentation of my latest batch. It finally started bubbling up consistently through the airlock last night, so it should be fine.

Mikey said… - I think the easiest way to get rid of the spammers is to just go through the profiles individually and read the way they filled out their profiles. If they say nothing about beer and/or have weird links just ban them (you can ban them by clicking the link right on their page). If there are any members that you can't quite tell about, just send them a message and if they don't reply, get rid of them.
It'll kind of suck to go through that many profiles but once it's done it'll be easier to navigate the site and then you can just police the incoming members as they sign up.
That's just my two cents though.
