Are You A Beer Blog Swinger?

Although we do our best at keeping you completely beer-entertained, there may come a time in your life where you want to spend a little time with some of those other beer blogs. Instead of playing the forgotten spouse, we'll define ours an open relationship, and give you a guide to some of the blogs we've already been with.

Appellation Beer Blog - "In Search of the Soul of Beer" is the tagline for this one - a blog about better beer in general. There seems to be a little more focus on the business side of beer than you'll find here at HBG.

Knut Albert's Beer Blog - If Hoosier Beer Geek was based in Norway, it might look a lot like this. And we'd all ride reindeer to work, and drink out of viking hats. Actually I'm going to suggest the reindeer and viking hats for the New Year's party. We'll see what Deano thinks.

Brewvana - Tackling important topics like "The Role of Beer in a Christian Life OR The Role of Christianity in a Beery Life" is not something we'll be doing anytime soon at HBG, but it's an ongoing series of articles over at Brewvana. Not as interesting as "Is The Breakfast Club A Chick Flick?", but interesting, nevertheless.

Beer Haiku Daily - Here we were thinking our beer review haikus were something special, and then I stumble across this site. From the Charm City. I suspect this site is actually written by McNulty.

Brewblog - From the wonderful folks at Miller comes this blog all about the brewing industry. Caution: may be watered down.

Lagerheads - A Roughneck's Take on Beer - Beer reviews with pouring videos - not as big a breakthrough as the jump from still photo pornography to streaming video pornography, but an interesting idea that we haven't managed to inadvertently rip off.

Pete Brown's Blog - Pete Brown is the author of Man Walks into a Pub and Three Sheets to the Wind, which automatically earns him respect when speaking with women. A little beer, a little travel, based in the UK.

Matt's Beer Blog - Last but certainly not least comes a beer blog from frequent Hoosier Beer Geek commenter Matt. If you're going to stray from HBG, you might start here - he's quite the gentleman.

Added by swinging stud Jason: I'd also like to mention an Indy blog that covers a couple of different things, but beer is one of the main topics. It is called DIG-B. The blogger goes by the name of CorrND. He has met up with the Knights on a couple of different occassions. He's also been writing about his adventures in home brewing.

  1. Add to the list the Potable Curmudgeon (http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com). If I had a glittery red font to use, you bet I'd put his name in capital letters.

  2. I'd also add the Brugge Beer blog.

  3. Thanks for the mention guys. I can't wait to come out for the New Year's Eve party.

    Everyone I've met from HBG is top notch.

  4. Thanks for the nod Jason. I know DIG-B doesn't fit neatly into a beer blog rundown but I appreciate the mention!

    I'm also looking forward to the NYE party and may have convinced a couple people to come along.
