I was asked if I blogged about beer the other day by a friend at Central Market. After telling him,"No...I don't have time and I didn't know who would read my meanderings about beer." He quickly chimed in,,,that he would! So Craig, here it is. TheBeerCentricLife is all about...you guessed it BEER! Not your normal I drank this beer and it tasted this way(all though there will probably be a bit of that), but a spot to talk about the beer scene in Austin, discuss the goods, the bads, and the uglys and stay informed with whats coming up!
First and foremost, I am neither a professional journalist nor a professional Beer Nerd, but I am a ranked amateur when it comes to tasting, discussing, and picking out beer. I do work at Central Market, but not in the Beer and Wine Section. I do however spend more money than I care to discuss on what lies on those shelves. I am known as "a beer guy" and I think it can be every bit as fantastic as wine or other spirits. It doesn't all taste like water and come in 18 packs! The terroir of a beer can be every bit as intricate as a fine wine. In fact, there are some awesome beers aged in old wine barrels, but we can discuss that later.
So I will talk about beers that I have drank recently, or in the past, or plan to (dogfish 120 sitting in my closet...I'm talking about you), or just whatever pops into my mind.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings...leave me feedback and comments! this just isn't about me, it is about a community of people who enjoy beer!
Thanks,
Joshua
