FedoraDave - Contributing Blogger

Post by LouieMacGoo »

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that Dave has agreed to be a contributing blogger for the BeerBorg! Dave's first article "The Therapy of Home Brewing" has just been published on the main site. I am hopeful that Dave will continue to be a regular contributor to the site and share his unique wit, humor and insight of brewing!

Thanks Dave! :fedora:

Thanks, FD. That was like a brewer's prayer. I just got out my box of brewing gear so I can "go to church" tomorrow.

Why would Dave want to be a contributing blobber? That's a derivative of the word "blubber", like in whale blubber? Or is he a contributing bobber? Like fish bait? I don't get it.

What? Oh, "blogger"? Oops!



Seriously, Dave's comments on the other forum were some of the most insightful comments I've read on any forum. Absent him droning on about his custom setup that allows him to not lift a finger when he bottles (yeah, we get it, you have a vastly superior setup to any of ours, and you are more organized that ten of us put together :lol: ), he really gives insightful thoughts on brewing, having patience, keeping notes, etc. Many a time I saw him come into a conversation and put the right spin on things. He was the most valuable contributor on that forum, and probably will be on this one.

Congrats Dave on being named Contributing B.S. Artist, er, Contributing Blogger. Great choice Louie!

Awesome, that's the kind of thing that could really keep this site growing.
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
