Well, that’s the manuscript for the second edition of The Ontario Craft Beer Guide, done and dusted.

Between working on that for the past 5-6 months while also working on the promotion for the last book and juggling my columns and day job, and spending most of my waking hours doing some amazing things both  in the name of this book and for beer in general, this site seems to have been unintentionally put on the backburner.

So with that, I can promise you folks that in the coming weeks there will be a lot more on here. In particular, the long-planned “Book Diaries”, where I’ll be talking about some of the specific scenes in Ontario regions.

I’ll also be going back to some of the more fun posts. Because gods knows, having something of a living giving straight up concise bios and tasting notes can get a little samey. I miss the creativity found in short story reviews, label art appreciation, individual stories, and even a few conceptual pairings.

So all that to say “I’m not dead” and to stay tuned.
