Michael Demmon, the former Discount Blogger, is back with a new blog, Gay Orbit: Discover your Inner Homo. Interesting to note that, like A Good Beer Blog, it is to be a multi-author blog. Is this a bloggy trend? Are we tired of being the uni-voice, alone in our quest for better and better stats as a reassurance that we matter?

Good news for the beer bloggers as well as Ale-Fan as agreed to be a periodic beeriodic contributing writer from the storefront front. Attentive readers will recall that he, like Michael, moved on to more personally important things, letting the blog go into semi-suspension and opened a beer shop in the town of Bury St. Edmunds. Given Michael's claim (he does go on and on on this point) that he knows more about ales than any other human in the history of human existence, he is also being heavily recruited [Ed.: hey, there is a reversal of allegation if ever there was one] to be A Good Beer Blog contributor from time to time as well, opening up that front in the southern States that the blog so desparately needs. I will have to investigate my inner self to know if there is anything I can add to his new blog. It may require some honesty inquiry - like how exactly the word hottie is used sometimes. I have faith, however, as we age very big rafters around here and all shall be revealed anon.
