We've been on hiatus, don't hate us...

Sorry everybody as you may have realised we haven't done any work on this site for a little while, but we've decided this must change and the beer diaries need to continue. Theres always more beer out there and therefore we must drink it, so expect some new reviews, musings and drunken revelries in the near future. We may as well say sorry to our liver's in advance and get too it, there has been far to must rest for the wicked.

Its a tough job but someone has to do it...

This has been a long time coming; myself (Joel) and Daniel (Maca) have invested many hours in the pursuit of knowledge insight and inebriation. This is an account of every beer we can get our greedy hands on and drink, be it with friends, family, strangers, alone, in the cold, in the heat, on a mountain, in the ocean or anywhere else. We will do our best to drink every beer we can. These beers are then rated on how we and others around us think they stack up. I can't promise that you'll agree with what we say, as this is in no way a blog written by professionals articulating the complexities of beverages, just two blokes with a passion and honest opinions. Join us as we declare war on our livers in an attempt to consume every beer this world has to offer. With persistence and anti-emetic's you can accomplish anything!

The rules of engagement

When we decided that we would drink as many different beers as we could, we thought we would need a scale to score them against. The beers we judge are generally poured into the correct glass for their specific style, however some exceptions are made for beers such as Corona or swing tops eg. Grolsch, which we feel can be left in the bottle. The beers tasted are scrutinised on several factors that include appearance/colour, head retention/lacing, aroma, flavour, Mouth feel and any general features that define the beer. Depending how well we think these beers represent their specific style we give them a rating on the score seen below:

                                                                                             1 - Terrible

                                                                                             2 - Bad

                                                                                             3 - Palatable

                                                                                             4 - OK

                                                                                             5 - Good

                                                                                             6 - Great

                                                                                             7 - Excellent

                                                                                             8 - Exceptional

                                                                                             9 - Pure Genius

                                                                                           10 - Perfect 

Further to this any beer scoring an excellent or higher would be recognised as a beer to be sought after.

In the beginning there was only one

This is a tribute to our friend and fellow beer drinker Tony, the man who introduced us to the idea of keeping a beer diary. For ten years prior and still to this day he has been scribbling away in notebooks, documenting every beer he drinks and sticking the labels into the pages next to them. For Tony this act was never for knowledge or recognition only in the hope that he wouldn't have to drink a shit beer twice, personally we greatly admired this simplistic yet brilliant idea. After reading these fantastic reviews with quotes like "this beer has won awards so the cunt at the bottle-o said," we were inspired and felt it was only fitting that we branch out and start enjoying this past time ourselves.

So Tony this is all your fault and we can't thank you enough!

Support Acts

With the ever growing amount of craft beers flooding the market we have decided to invite some guest writers to help us tackle this delicious journey. Many mouths make light work in this case, and this also goes for beavers and sex workers... So with many guest reviews to come let the good times roll.
