Well done guys. Sincerely good effort. May you write a thousand more. Next year this time will do! 🙂
PS. I have done 910 as of this morning. So 90 more until my five years in November. Should be do-able at walking pace.
Yes, very well done. As long as old-timers like you and the TM keep going, it makes me feel young.
Thanks, chaps. We feel like grizzled veterans.
Congratulations, guys! Please keep it up for another five years. 🙂
Congratulations! I just peeked over 8,000 posts between the two blogs after nine years. Unlike you, however, I have no self evident claim to standards of quality through time. I wish I could time line it all somehow, trace my limitations and contradictions. One thing beery I realized I have witnessed early on was the collapse of maltiness as a primary element. Any thoughts on patterns you have recorded over time even if not intentionally?
For the first year or two, we hadn’t worked out the technology or the ‘corporate voice’. Lots of those posts begin “I” but, in most cases, we can’t remember which of us wrote it. Sloppy.
We’ve become warier about saying certain naive things that will prompt storms of irritated comments, but also become more confident in stating our views in other areas, and using the language we want to.
We’ve all but given up on reviewing beer and have settled into our ‘pondering’ niche.
Congrats, and here’s to much more pondering. I’d say it’s a lot harder to do than beer reviews, the last few weeks notwithstanding.
I would like to say thank you. Without beer blogs I’d be bored enough to get on with the job I’m paid to do rather than skive. Reading this rubbish is at least no worse than a lot of other rubbish. Well done.
Congrats and keep up the pondering.
