First Post!

Welcome to Brew Review!

My name is Matt Logan and I've started Brew Review as a beer-review site to help spread the word about beer and brewing. On the blog I'll be talking about good beer, bad beer, expensive beer, and cheap beer. I'll cover Georgia-brewed beer, domestic beers, internationally brewed beers, limited-release/seasonal beers, and everything in between. Even some beers that, in my opinion, shouldn't be considered beer.

Though plenty of bad beers are out there, a lot of awesome beers are being brewed these days. And beer isn't just beer anymore- a whole culture has developed around it. People, me included, spend $10 for a single bottle/glass of some brews. And a lot of them aren't worth it! But that's what it's about. It's about trying new things, being adventurous, and developing an understanding and appreciation of what good beer can really be. I see it as my job to help readers find those exceptional beers more easily and to give them a heads-up on beers that I don't like.

I am going to be reviewing beers from across the world here on Brew Review, but I want to do more than just that. I want to create a community where we interact, discuss, and drink together. I want Brew Review to be a place where I recommend beers, you try them, and you let me know what you think. I want it to be a place where you tell me what beers you enjoy and which ones I should try out (and review in the future). If I've already had it or you've already had the ones I suggest, let's talk about it! Hopefully, pretty soon we'll have ourselves a bona fide Internet pub, with some great brew-talk going on (with less smoke than a real pub, too).

I'll also put up all kinds of interesting beer-related stuff: stories (personal and otherwise), brew history, quotes from famous beer drinkers, interviews with brewers, local Atlanta-area events, and anything else related to beer and brewing.

Cheers!

(And if you don't drink, that's fine. Hopefully you're like me- for instance, I don't eat meat, but I can still enjoy hearing about a well-cooked, thoroughly-enjoyed steak.)
