We’re “beerologists” based in Nashville, TN. Basically, that means we like beer. We drink it. We study it. As “ologists” we are also educators. That’s the point of our blog…to educate you on beer. No fancy-talk…just a couple of normal dudes helping you make better beer decisions!
Feel free to e-mail either of us anytime: brian@beerschoolblog.com or josh@beerschoolblog.com
If you have a general question you can e-mail that to: beerschoolguys@beerschoolblog.com
Here’s our first post ever…it helps explain what we’re all about:
Welcome to Beer School Blog. We’re two guys in Nashville, TN who love beer. That’s really how this whole idea started. We thought “we’re gonna drink it anyway, why not share some things we learn and help others learn too” Below are the 3 T’s. They represent what we’ll be and what we’ll do.
Teachers – We’re two (very) normal guys who will give you our take on beer. Any beer. All beer. We won’t use fancy language or words you’ve never heard. Straight gut talk from the moment the beer hits ours.
Tasters – This might be the best feature of this blog for you…..our students. Basically. We’ll try any beer. If there’s something you’ve heard about but never tried, send us a message, or leave us a comment and we’ll hunt it down, take it in and give you our opinion. Plus, you will get the props on the blog. Good suggestions = an A+ grade for you. Bad suggestions (beer that sucks) = detention. Basically we’ll make fun of you on the internets.
Talkers – We will profile (by area) some of Nashville’s great beer drinking / beer purchasing establishments. Everything from the price of the beer to what beer(s) a place is known for.
The long and short of it is, we don’t know everything. In fact, a lot of you probably know more than we do about beer. We’re totally fine with that. We’re here to learn and pass along to you! You’re homework is this: Put the second T to the test. Tell us what you want us to taste. What beer have you heard about but never tried? We’ll try it for you and let you know what we think.
From my former hometown of Asheville, NC my personal favorite is Highland Brewing Company’s line o’ fine brews. The best IMHO is their Gaelic Ale (funny name, great beer) but all of their beers are great & finely crafted. Check ‘em out.
Considered doing a Twitter/Pownce notice when you guys are going out? I’ve been looking for beer buddies but most of my friends don’t drink or don’t like beer. But perhaps you don’t want beer stalkers…that just sounds weird.
we actually just got on twitter. follow along at http://www.twitter.com/beerschoolblog! we’ll drink beer with anyone!
hey introverted one – thanks for the tip, we’re gonna go check out Highland Brew and see if we can get it here in Nashvegas. We’ll let you know our thoughts. and hey – here’s to beer “extroverting (is that word)” you!!
I’m sorry I should’ve told you guys that you can get Highland Brewing Co’s beer here in town! At one point 12th South Taproom has it on tap. From which I have partaken and it is good. Most of the time I’m at Midtown Wine & Spirits grabbing six-ers to enjoy at home.
I’ll make sure to follow you guys on Twitter. Maybe meet you at a bar somewhere (if my wife & daughters let me).
Hey I.O. (introverted one) Aaahhh yes 12th South Tap Room. We love that place. Great people, great beer (it was our first post!) and another big plus…great food! ~ yeah do follow the twitter, and tell your friends. Here’s to seeing you out somewhere. Tell the fam your going back to school!
In the spirit of Oprah, this is my new favorite thing. In honor of the lost productivity I’ll receive from knowing about this blog, I will drink a fine and tasty Fat Tire in your honor this evening.
