Seattle Beer Examiner

Apr. 14th, 2008 | 02:24 pm

Well, I have a new home for my Seattle beer writing. Nothing against Metroblogging Seattle (I'm actually hoping to continue contributing non-beer posts there), but an opportunity came my way and I decided it would be foolish to let it pass me by. My new home is with Examiner.com, a digital news aggregator who are attempting to focus on local content by launching city-specific sites in fifty-nine locations. The first three (Seattle, Denver and Baltimore) went live today.

I believe each city will have a writer covering local beer and they've recruited Charlie Papazian to be the "National Beer Examiner." I was asked to contribute for Seattle, so I'll be writing about local beer stuff at least 3 times a week. They're calling me the Seattle Beer Examiner, a name many would consider a vast improvement over The Beer Retard.

The layout has some glitches and they haven't updated my bio, but I do have a couple of posts up, one on the Cooper's Alehouse IPA Fest and another on Big Time's Belgian-style Tripel, the Trombipulator. I hope you'll take a look when you get a chance.
