Welcome, one and all to Beer&There!  A blog about beer... and other things.  I'll be using this medium mostly to post reviews of beers I've tasted and to discuss various other topics pertaining to that blessed proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.  But man does not live by bread alone, even liquid bread, so I'll also be sharing non-beer related posts from time to time.

For now, however, I have to go downstairs to brew my first pale ale.  I'm going with ten pounds of Rahr two row and two pounds of Crystal.  I tried cracking it with my pasta roller but that failed miserably so now I have to make friends with the rolling pin again.  Some day, rolling pin, I'll leave you in the past.

Why must you hurt me so?
