Beer Blogging
As you may or may not know, the only quasi-resolution I made after the New Year was to try to buy a different kind of beer each and every time I visit one of my friendly local liquor stores. Though, the Guinness still makes its way through my front door somehow.
Being a major hophead, I've now had the good fortune to try several excellent IPA's from some fine New England breweries - the last three being, Magic Hat Hi.P.A. (S.
