A beer-tracking tragedy occurred about 4 months ago. I had thought that sending Vick a text each time I drank a new beer would ensure that I would never lose my beerdata. I allowed several months to go by before updating my spreadsheet, knowing that all of my beerinformation was safely stored on two devices. My foolproof beer-collecting system failed when both my cell phone and Vick's cell phone died in the same week.
Disgruntled by the loss, I stopped recording my beers all together. I'm fairly certain that I had over 20 beer names that are lost forever. So, I've decided to go in a slightly different direction.
While I still make a commitment to drink good beer (rather than yucky beer), I'm ending my attempt to finish a certain number in a certain time. I'm not going to give up beer forever, though. As I continue to run a half marathon in each state, I will do my best to record and blog about excellent beers.
Like the Pretty Things Jack D'Or that I had at 10 Tables in JP last month. I'm pretty sure that was an excellent beer, or at least it paired well with fantastic food! Or how Opa Opa IPA goes so well with Thanksgiving dinner. Anyway, I'll get back to recording, but this time with less ambition. Ambition is for suckers.
