I have had two interesting events blogwise, or rather beerblogwise, this week. First, I was offered my first free sample for review. It is from a distributor in New England so we have to figure out how to get a free sample across the border. Free beer is an interesting concept. Until now, I have always bought my own for reviewing.

Second, I was contacted by a reporter from The New York Times about an item I ran last January and could she quote me for her article. Well, apparently, copy editor willing, there A Good Beer Blog shall be come Monday, Business Section on the Media page. I have alerted the good folks who lend me use of their servers in case there is some wave of A Good Beer Blog mania across the USA. We shall see if the coal-fires stay lit and the dykes hold.
