Endorsement of ILoveBeerClub Blog

As co-presidente of Beer Club, I support and endorse this blog. I'd also like to dedicate this great and mighty blog with a quote I picked up on a recent BC adventure:

More than 6,000 years ago the refreshing qualities of beer were recognized and enjoyed, and ancient peoples have left evidence to indicate that they took the brewing of this thirst-quenching beverage very seriously....When today's beer drinkers lift a frosty mug of their favorite brew, they can do so knowing that they are in good company, sharing a kinship with pharaohs, kings, queens, statesmen, literary giants, and explorers.

Welcome to Beer Club

This is a blog for people that love beer, friends, and fun.  Created to chronicle the adventures of Beer Club and inspire others to get together and share good drink.  

Prost!
