Welcome to Beer+Wine

In case you stumbled here by mistake, Beer+Wine is a site dedicated to discussing two fine beverages: beer and wine. There's no real skill or innate talent here, other than a love for beer, a growing appreciation for wine, and the occasional enjoyment of writing things down.

Over the past ten years, I have had the fortunate pleasure to enjoy over three or four hundred different types of beer and several hundred bottles of wine as well, and have gained an appreciation and an understanding of some of the creation processes that go into the art of crafting a fine beverage. All too often, though, I have found myself trying to recollect whether or not I actually enjoyed a certain beer, trying to remember where I found a certain bottle of wine, or encountering individuals for whom the greatest beer debate is whether Bud Light or Miller Lite is a superior beverage. Granted, both have their place among American Lite Lagers, but would not even enter a discussion in comparison to a Belgian Tripel or an Irish Stout.

There is no hidden intent for this site to mimic existing beer loving communities or show any prowess or understanding of complex wines, but it will hopefully serve the purpose well of capturing and discussing various beers, wines, and even the occasional liquor from the perspective of a few completely non-industry and non-professional consumers.

Cheers!
