On the baseball side, I grew up as a die-hard Minnesota Twins fan. I was fortunate to have that team provide outstanding memories for me during my childhood during the 1987 and 1991 World Series Championships. Those memories have fashioned a life long love affair with the game of baseball as a fan and spectator. In this blog you will not read my opinions on the current state of a major league baseball team, or any great sabermetric analysis. Instead, I will record my experiences attending games at a variety of ballparks. My children have begun sharing my love of baseball, and love to attend baseball games at all levels and in many different types of stadiums. I want to record my memories and experiences here.
On the craft beer side, I have thoroughly enjoyed the craft beer renaissance that is occurring in the United States, and specifically in my home state of Minnesota. So, I have adopted a "six pack a week" rule. It is my plan to record my thoughts on a given beers that I try in the weeks to come. I do not have any expertise in brewing. I do not believe that I have a refined beer pallet. I do not believe that I will provide any great knowledge or insight. It is all for fun. My current beer pallet lends itself to IPAs, Hefeweizens, and Belgian Whites. I love a good Oktoberfest beer in September as well.
So, if you have stumbled across this web journal, I hope you find it enjoyable.
Prost! and Let's Playball!
