Happy 2009 from The Brew Club!
December 31, 2008
I just wanted to say to anyone who happens to stop by today – Happy New Year from The Brew Club! Lets all hope that 2009 is better than 2008 turned out to be!
To commemorate 2008, I went through the history books, and found this old painting of ‘Father Time’ along with ‘Baby New Year’. As you can see, The Brew Club was around back then too and our logo is faintly seen putting its finger up Father Time’s nose as an insult to the massive suckyness that was 2008.
There is another image that I didn’t post that shows The Brew Club bottle telling baby 2009 to ‘watch his back’ or he’ll get the same treatment this time next year. Think we’re kidding Baby 2009?
I’d also like to thank the other Brew Club members for making this whole beer-exchange concept work. Without their participation, I would not have drank so many different beers in 2008, or had the material to build this beer review website with! I think we’re all better people as a result! (Except maybe Liz who seemed to have slipped a notch or two.)
If I had family-friendly pictures of them, I would post them here for all the world to point and laugh at – but for now their names will have to do! Thanks Jerry, Melissa, Heather, Neil, Liz, and especially Scott. (That’s me!) HA! I’d also like to thank Liz again for doing all the crazy graphics for the site and giving it a personal touch.
I’d also like to say Happy New Year and Thank You our guest reviewers, Coops and especially to ‘Bob the Brit‘, who has really helped bring this beer reviewing blog to a whole new level. (People almost think we know what we’re talking about now!) I’m looking forward to reading more of Bob’s beer drinking adventures here in 2009, and I hope that you are too!
I’d like to also thank some of my fellow Beer Bloggers, who have been a big help either exchanging ideas, offering tips and suggestions, or just stopping by to comment on a review. Thanks!
Finally, I’d like to thank all the other people who stopped by just to read a review, or to leave comments, insults or suggestions. I hope more people feel encouraged to leave their thoughts, beer reviews and suggestions in 2009. We love hearing from our readers!
So, there you have it! Thanks for making The Brew Club in interesting and worthwhile project! Happy New Year!
-Scott

Scott, Happy New Year! I hope 2009 brings your blog much success. Speaking of success, tonight I crack open Vermonster from Rock Art Brewery (VT) and Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. Nothing like a couple hefty beer to ring in the new year.

Happy New Year Scott, and all involved with The Brewclub.
I confess that my small involvement has rekindled my interest in seeking out interesting brews, much to the annoyance of my wife!
For the record, my first beer of the year was Kasteel Cru, lager brewed with Champagne yeast. I think you have a review in the ‘to be published’ file.

Happy New Year to all a little belatedly.
The beer drinking might have slowed over here in Oz but there’s always another one to try. Hope to be sending you something interesting soon.
I wholeheartedly agree that we can put 2008 behind us and never refer to it again. Let’s concentrate on shaping 2009 into something we can be proud of.
