When I started this crazy challenge I had no idea if I would be able to complete it. Today is officially day 357 of my beer year. And I’m happy to report that I am over the 366 number in terms of different beers. In other words, I have successfully drank a year of beers. [...]

Year in Beer Challenge # 308: Monk’s Uncle from The Pike Brewing Co.
The Year in Beer Challenge continues on. Beer number 308 for my Year in Beer was Monk’s Uncle, from The Pike Brewing Company (Seattle, WA). Beers in the Belgian Tripel style happen to be some of my favorites. And this one does not disappoint. A golden body with a kick from the 9%. If you [...]
Year in Beer Challenge # 298: Robust Porter from Smuttynose
Last night I opened a bottle of Robust Porter by Smuttynose Brewing (Portsmouth, NH). This beer was number 298 for my Year in Beer challenge. And a mighty fine 298 it was. This porter leans toward the malt side as opposed to the hop side. With a twinge of smooth coffee and chocolate underlying the [...]
Year in Beer Challenge # 297: Claymore Scotch Ale
For my Year in Beer challenge I have done very little writing about the actual beers that I have been drinking. Blame it on laziness. But in a recent bout of non laziness I have decided to change this up a bit now that I’m in the homestretch of the challenge. Claymore Scotch Ale, from [...]
T-Minus 58 days
The pressure. The pressure of a beer challenge. In this case The Year in Beer. With just under 60 days to go, I am officially 13 beers behind. I guess it is not really ‘officially’ as there is nothing official about the whole thing. But still. Last night was an example of the changes in [...]

A Year in Beer Update
I haven’t provided much update on my year in beer challenge, but I am still on target. I am currently on day 166 so I’m less than half way through the 365 day period. And as of last night, I have consumed 181 different beers. So I have about a 15 beer cushion. Of course [...]
A Year in Beer – Update #2
This is update #2 to my Year in Beer Challenge (see original post Here). I’m right around the 60 day mark and I’m actually ahead of schedule. This past weekend The Beer Goddess and myself, along with some great friends, made our yearly pilgrimmage to the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. I will give [...]
A Year in Beer – Update # 1
A few days ago I introduced my challenge, A Year in Beer (see original post Here). The first 30 days of the challenge are complete. After 30 days, I’m at beer number 32. A little ahead of target. And a bit of an explanation on the Budweiser. Normally I am not a ‘Bud’ drinker, however [...]
