I’m not dead!
April 13th, 2008Just want to let you all know that I am very much still alive. Posting new reviews has gotten mighty slow around here and I apologize.
In my day-to-day life, things have gotten insanely busy. Not only is my first year of grad school coming to a conclusion in about three weeks, but I’ve also been put in the position where I get to fill the role of two positions at once until the summer hits.
Truth be told, I also haven’t had any truly inspiring beers lately. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been taking the time to enjoy a brew every now and then, but none of the new ones I’ve tried lately have really sparked enough interest to write about them.
For example, a couple nights ago I had the chance to try Hale’s Mongoose IPA. Does everybody use the same recipe for IPAs? Is is that hard to make an IPA that actually tastes original? Perhaps my palate isn’t sophisticated enough to pick up on the intricacies of IPAs, but 99% of them taste exactly alike to me.
Hopefully this should all change in about three weeks when not only is the semester over, but I’m moving back to Oregon for the break. While I’m definitely enjoying my time out here for school, Pullman isn’t exactly a beer town. Expect much more frequent updates soon enough. Until that time comes, expect maybe a post a week if I’m lucky.
