Beer

Beer is a subject near and dear to my heart. It has been brewed for very nearly 10,000 years. This is much longer than wine has been around.

I chose the name “lagerhead” for two reasons:
1. It sounds like a type of turtle, and that is just funny.
2. I really dislike lager.

Though there are some really well done lagers, I prefer ales, as they are usually much more robust and flavorful. Some really good ones to try are (in no particular order):

1. Fat Tire Amber Ale (Colorado)
2. Dry Stout
3. Belgian Wit Bier (Also called Biere Blanche)
4. Belgian Trappist/Abbey styles, especially Chimay Blue
5. Scottish & Scotch Ales
6. Oh, ok… almost ANYTHING from Belgium.
7. Porter (George Washington’s favorite type of beer)

More on this subject later.

Blogs…

I hate to say it, but I am morally opposed to blogs. I just really don’t see a good reason for them.

Maybe it is because I don’t think that people honestly care about what I think about life and the world we live in. And why should they? I really don’t care what they think about it either! And to make matters worse, I don’t even care about persuading people to adopt my views. I don’t normally even care about telling people about my views or ideas most of the time. And when I do, it is usually in a sort of one-on-one small social situation. Preferably one complete with beer.

Perhaps I can make this useful by posting here only so that I can come back at a later time, and revisit my own thoughts. Do I even own my own thoughts once I type them in and submit them to the database these Live Journal people have provided?
