Six Months


It has been six months since I began blogging about beer subjects. I started to do it as an exercise in writing. I wanted to develop a voice. I also wanted to be disciplined enough to put out articles on a regular basis. I knew I wanted to write about what I know and what I have been doing.

At first I left the comment section off. I told myself I just wanted to be able to write. I needed more self esteem before I subjected my new venture to criticisms from strangers. I just turned on the comment button so I am open to your comments now. I will say that what you can expect on my blog is anything to do with the Northern California area.

Brewers, beers, tap houses, beer issues, and events. I will not write about any thing outside the area. I believe those areas are already well covered. I see Christina Perozzi in Southern California doing her thing and calling herself “The Beer Chick”. I see Lisa Morrison focusing on the Oregon and Washington area referring to herself as the “Beer Goddess”. Seeing my niche as the female voice in the Northern California area, I decided to adopt the title “The Beer Maven”.

As the Beer Maven I will continue to devote myself to the area.
I wont write about beers brewed in Oregon, Washington, or Alaska. I wont write about any beer related adventures I may have outside the Northern California area.

It is my goal to form a bridge for you, who appreciate beer to understand more than just where to go to get a good beer. Breweries also face a lot of issues as producers and distributors of America’s numbers one choice of alcoholic refreshment.

A good brewery understands that it is not in a bubble and has a responsibility to the community. It is my goal to help you understand these issues. I also hope to share with you all the events and celebrations that breweries love to promote to encourage a sense of community.

Thank you for your support. Please share this link with family and friends. If you have a comment or constructive criticism please let me know.

Sincerely,
The Beer Maven
