Fermentation is a go

After gently prodding by my family, I've decided to start a blog on the growing craft beer scene here in Sarasota, Fla., my hometown. This area used to be a craft beer wasteland. That sure has changed.

My idea for this blog is to expand upon my work at BeerAdvocate.com, where I review beer and try to keep other craft beer fans in the area in the know. I also learn a lot about the local beer scene from fellow BA members.

This blog is a work in progress; I'm just figuring this stuff out. Expect lots of changes.

I welcome your comments.
