The Great American Beer Fantasy Novel
Posted by Jerry on 02 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Announcements
Some long time readers know I’m writing a fantasy novel about the Holy Beer.
Well, right here, right now, I’m challenging myself to finish the first draft by mid August.
If anyone was wondering why there hasn’t been any recent beer reviews, this is one of the reasons.
Wish me luck!
UPDATE 8/24/2008: I didn’t finish it. I can blame part of it on the fact that I had a dental emergency and spent a week on codiene, which pretty much messed up my ability to write (or even think clearly). But the other part of the blame rests solely with a section of my psyche I’m starting to think of as my “antimuse.” I have a muse that gives me ideas for writing, and then I have an antimuse that does everything in its power to keep me from writing. More about that later. I did manage to put another 25,000 words on the manuscript, which is better than nothing. The end is definitely in sight now.

Hello world!
Posted by Jerry on 20 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: Announcements
Now this is cool. You are here, now, reading the very first post on this website. Remember this day. Years from now you can say, “Yeah, I went there before there was anything even published there! And now look at it!”
You, my friend, are definitely ahead of the curve.
You’re here because you love beer. This website is here because I love beer. Beer is good. Beer is even holy (I know, because I have some in my fridge that was brewed by monks).
This is yet another website about beer. But as there is no such thing as too much beer in the world, I say, there’s room for yet another website about it.
One thing I can tell you to expect … one of these days I’m going to try an experiment I found on the Internet, where you can brew actual beer in a coffee pot. I don’t know if it really works. I don’t know if, after I drink the stuff, I’ll die or end up with brain damage. But by Gods I am going to try it!
Thanks for showing up, my friend. Please bookmark this place and check back from time to time.
Sincerely yours,
Jerry J. Davis
Fellow Beer Lover
