Welcome to the 24 Days of Beer!

Thank you all for joining in our initial 24 Days of Beer!  I have set up this Blog so that we can have a central location to banter about our beer tasting journey without flooding everyone's inbox with the chain email messages that are more than likely to occur.  At this blog you will be able to see what beer to drink each day, post comments, read others' comments and inevitably there will be witty comments and some trash talking.

I know not everyone on this list knows everyone else, but you can be assured that we all have at least one thing in common.  Everyone assembled here loves beer.  The end goal here is for everyone to get to try 24 different beers that they otherwise would have never tried and have some fun doing it.
