The Yearly Disclaimer

Each year, I start the blogging calendar with a disclaimer. #BeerBlogDisclaimer will never catch on, I know, but I feel it is important to take the tiny amount of time each year to set the ground rules.

Every beer, brewery, event, restaurant reviewed on this site whether paid for or complimentary will get the same treatment when reviewed. If I don’t like the beer, it will be described as a beer that I did not like, even if it was handed to me by the brewer and I like the brewer.

If I forget (which probably will happen) to mention how I got a beer or a pass to an event, then go back and read the previous paragraph. (I should just “If” “Then” chart this out.)

I clearly want the Los Angeles Craft Beer Scene to flourish and I want craft beer in general to flourish. So my reviews will also take that into consideration. Some points in time require cheerleading and others require harsh sentences. It shouldn’t take a reader too long to see where I stand.

I will be as impartial and truthful as I can be while also staying as opinionated as usual.
