Everything I Don't Know

Since starting this blog, I've been on a never-ending search for post topics. I ended up spending most of my afternoon perusing beeradvocate.com, absolutely shocked by the amount of stuff I don't know about beer. But hey, that's why we're here, right?

Probably the most interesting aspect of today's research was on how to write tasting notes and how to review a beer. I've always wanted to get into beer tasting, so I'm excited to start practicing (read: drinking more). You'll know I'm at a loss for things to write about when I start posting beer reviews every afternoon.

Other subjects that caught my interest were:
Glassware - Did you know that in Belgium, almost every beer has its own glass?
Food Pairings - Was the hefeweizen I enjoyed with my ribs tonight the right choice, or should I have gone with an imperial stout?
Drinking Local - There are some great microwbreweries and brewpubs in our area, and I must try them all.
Yeast - Yes, I find this oddly fascinating.
Headaches and hangovers - This goes way beyond dehydration and drunkenness.
All-Grain Brewing - I'm a long way off from this (a year at least), but I can't wait to try it.

What other beer-related topics do you find interesting? Is there anything you'd like to see covered in the blog? Leave questions and suggestions in comments.
