Food GPS post
Now you can go to Food GPS and click on a drop down menu and choose from any of the vast amounts of columns I have written. OK, it’s only 4 so far but I still think it’s cool.
The 1st post on the list is about the Pacific Gravity Summer party.

Just above this post, you will see tabs that say About the Search Party and Join the Search Party. Why don’t you click on them? Come on, do it!
Why should I trust / read the Beer Search Party blog?
The reason that I post all of this “beer stuff” ?
I want people to drink better beer.
That is it. You are not going to see ads for Budweiser or MillerCoors on this blog. Hell, the only ad on this blog was added today, July 4th, for a charity. There are not going to be negative posts about people or products. This blog is about “searching” and “locating” great beer. Not tearing down lite beer. More eloquent people can do that.
I just want to talk to people about the beer I am drinking, beer tastings that I present, places to drink great beer, the breweries that are crafting great seasonals and so on. To keep up with all that is going on, you will see one or two short posts a day. So even if you miss a day or two, it won’t take you days to catch up.
My goal is to be a beer guide (like Siskel or Ebert was for movies). Then eventually, I want to own a store that sells quality beer and has a couple of taps so that people can come in and talk with me about what they like and dislike. A new type of bottle shop.
To get there, I will need monetary help. No getting around that. Hopefully, I will be able to bootstrap this goal myself. But in the meantime, I sell branded merch through CafePress and soon I will have a “buy me a beer” link (if I can work out the technical side of it). But you, the reader, need not feel guilty about reading without literally buying into it.
If I suggest one beer that makes one person re-think what beer is and what it could be then this blog has succeeded.

Now you can be the first on your block (literally) to proclaim that you want better beer, by wearing a shirt or carrying a water bottle.
Exciting week (and months) ahead
I will be taking a beer trek from Los Angeles to Portland starting on Friday. That means no new posts here until I get back at the end of June. It also means a flurry of posts at the start of July so please stay tuned.
I will be visiting breweries and pubs and bottle shops on the way up and the way down. From Paso Robles to San Francisco to Ashland to Eugene. I will be sampling at the North American Organic Brewers Festival. I will be going to old haunts and new ventures. But best of all, I will be talking with some of the friendliest and passionate people that I have ever met. BREWERS!
I will bring back a trunk full of beer, photos, reviews, memories and much more. And when I get back, more positive changes to come on this blog and with my beer tastings.
So if you have watched a spontaneous video or you agreed with a rant on a past post, I will be bringing back more for you to help everyone on their quest to find an EVEN BETTER BEER.
Cheers!
New email address!!
Now whenever you have a beer or beer related question, like, why is Budweiser advertising that they have new specially designed glasses for drinking Bud out of? or why is Busch Gardens no longer giving out free samples of of Bud? You can send them to me and I will give you the best answer that I can.

NEW LOGO – NEW TAGLINE – SAME MISSION
One of my beer rules is that you cannot be afraid to try something new. Be it beer with vanilla beans or beer floats. In that spirit, Beer Search Party has a new logo (thanks to TooLogo for the great design) and a new more descriptive tagline.
The passion for craft brewed beer remains the same as does the goal of connecting people to better ales and lagers. Check the “About the Search Party” tab for the map, so to speak, that the Search Party will use.
Cheers!!
