The Firkin for December 2010

It is the last day of 2010,  did you make the most out of your beer year?

I am not talking about how many beers you downed.  I am talking about being a craft beer ambassador.  You don’t have to go out on the street waving a beer pamphlet and trying to convert the water lager drinkers of the world.

I am talking about breaking out of your own beer bubble.

~ Go to beer bar and brewery events

~ get acquainted with your beer seller or bartender

~ tell your friends about great beer

~ ask your local paper to cover beer more

~ get a shirt from your local brewery and wear it around

~ ask your favorite restaurant to carry good beer (if they don’t already)

~ bring craft beer to parties or get-togethers (I think there is one tonight)

You get the picture.  Let’s promote craft beer.  The more people that buy better beer the more better beer you (and I) will get.

Cheers to 2010 and I wish you all an even better 2011!
