It was 10 years ago today that I got a weird hair up my ass and decided to commit myself to the cause of promoting Utah's beer culture. This blog was and still is a mostly therapeutic exercise for me. Being a beer geek in Utah a for that first twenty years of my beer drinking life was a bit oxymoronic. For most of that time the words "Utah" and "beer" were as synonymous as "fish" and "bicycle" to most beer lovers outside of our boarders. Thank to our growing craft beer community - that perception is changing.
I hope this doesn't come across as self congratulatory. I'm just glad some of you have found my therapy, critiques and rants useful in some way... and if you think about it - ten years talking about any narrow/niche subject is pretty cool - no matter what the subject is. I don't know if I have another ten years of "beer geek'n" left in me, but as long as any one person gives a shit, I'll try to do my best. Thanks again for bothering to visit.
Cheers!

I check your blog every morning. I have also made friends with a great group of beer geeks because of it. You and your blog are as much of the Utah beer scene as any of the breweries.
Cheers Mikey!

Thank you for your posts! I especially look forward to them on Fridays!
Absolutely love the blog, man. It's helped me keep tabs on so many goings-on of the local scene. Congratulations!
I went to Squatter's in Park City on Friday, looking for the Chai Rye Ale you had mentioned in your New Beer Friday post. The server had no idea what I was talking about. That wasn't the first time I knew more about an upcoming beer than the staff at a brewery or at the Bayou, thanks to this blog. Congrats on 10 years!
Congrats on ten years! You keep posting, I'll keep reading.
