I am here, here for beer

In nearly every bar you go into in the good ol' U.S.A. there is almost always a plaque with a quote attributed to Ben Franklin: "Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy."
Now, there is some dispute as to whether Ben actually said this, or some version of this. But the message is clear: beer is life's greatest accessory.
A friend of mine who is a big-time foodie here in my hometown of New York City started a blog where she reviewed a different restaurant each week. She suggested I do the same for beer.
"The year in booze, you can call it," she said gleefully.
Well, the year in beer has a better ring to it, so here I am.
I am a lover and appreciator of craft-brewed beer, wherever in the world it be made, and I'll be reviewing for you great beer as I drink it. However, I posit to do it from a layman's terms; though I do love good beer, I am no super-technical beer snob, there's many other Web sites to go to for a more scientific review of beer.
I'll just tell you about beers I like and why I like them, along with anecdotes from bars here in New York and wherever else I may happen to drink. Thanks for reading.
