Beer bloging has officially beaten out the Eiffel tower and the statue of liberty as one of the new wonders of the world. Okay, perhaps not but it is quite the phenomena and great way to learn from fellow brewers, at every level from all over the globe. With all that being said here is another great beer blog http://www.brew-dudes.com/
