February is the month for lovers. At least one day that is. And this blog will endeavor to show my love for the world of craft beer. Starting with the unusual assignment of writing a review without reviewing. Over this short month, there will be plenty of reviews from my recent Let’s Pour purchases sprinkled amongst the usual suspects, such as…

~ e-visits to three breweries from San Francisco starting with Fort Point, Magnolia Dogpatch and Cellarmaker Brewery
~ video reviews of Jai Alai from Cigar City. Both the canned version and the humidor series version.
~ two more beers will come up from the BSP cellar to be reviewed.
~ Heads-Up on Los Angeles Beer Events
~ Three suggested beers to buy this month
~ I will tap the Firkin and give my no holds barred opinion on the craft beer world
~ … and Session # 84 will converge bloggers onto a single topic, this month is “A Review that is not a Review”
~ plus many more posts about new beers, beer products and breweries

Here are two events to get your February started in the Los Angeles craft beer world:
1) Saturday, 2/8 to Sunday, 2/23 – Lucky Baldwins 15th annual Belgian beer festival
2) Thursday, 2/20 – H24 at The Hermosillo Eagle Rock – tap take over

Here at BSP headquarters, we are working on these posts for the ghoulish month of October. Ghoulish because of the morning’s after all the L.A. Beer Week events.

Also, again thanks to Charissa Santos, for the above logo. If you like the look of it, check out her site HERE. She does branding, print and web design and she is easy to work with and she really made me take a hard look at where I am going and what my design does to help me get there.
