I mostly went to the blog last year because 1)Verizon was getting really pissy about the e-mail newsletter I was sending out; and 2) because Stan kept telling me I should. "Mission statement", heh, it was more like me thinking out loud about what I was going to write about!<BR/><BR/>I was a member of NAGBW, and won a couple of the awards, and no, I don't think that the beer blog explosion has "changed us" so that there's no point to a 'guild' of some sorts. I'm ready to start a new one.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-78132355101918575712008-01-27T10:55:00.000-05:002008-01-27T10:55:00.000-05:00Hey Lew!

You know, I am coming up on the fifth anniversary of my first beer blog post in May but that predates the creation of my stand alone beer blog on 23 October 2004, two days before my first post <A HREF="http://beerblog.genx40.com/archives/2004/october/lewbrysononbeer" REL="nofollow">about your writing</A>. <BR/><BR/>I've never gone back and checked out the mission statement (I don't really think I had one) as you are doing above but I am intrigued now by the reference on 22 October to the Quill and Tankard Awards and the North American Guild of Beer Writers. Were you part of that group? Has the advent of the beer blog explosion and other forms of mass beer writing changed us and moved us past the point of a NAGBW?Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670495301758701170noreply@blogger.com
