Welcome to BeerWriters.com
We hope BeerWriters.com will become a sort of central "clearing house" for people who read about beer to find people who write about beer.
We are just getting started and have lot's of things to do yet so please be a gentle with us.
We have a "Suggest a Site" form where you can suggest beer related RSS feeds to be included. We have to check the sites in question because anybody who has run a web site for more than 15 minutes knows the spam problem out there.
There is also a small forum section for your use if you want. Mostly we hope to be a "Go Between" as I said.
Welcome

It would be fun to see them side-by-side. Tangentially, one of the first known written records of beer is an ode to Ninkasi (it even contains a recipe for...

See, in these times when people are questioning all manner of stuff that is foisted upon the fan of good beer, one get's a little internally chippy. So, when I read the beginning of this NYT article by Clay Risen just now I stopped and then stopped myself:

But while most craft breweries have a saison beer in their rotation, and some even specialize in the style, it has yet to catch on with the general, I.P.A.-swilling public....
