Hoosier Beer Geek has been lucky in the coverage we have received from the press. First, Indianapolis Monthly listed us as a top Indy blog. Then, INTake Weekly wrote about us...twice! And now Rita Kohn from NUVO has written a nice article titled "Blogs, beer & philanthropy: Hoosier Beer Geeks turn 1".
We as a group first met Rita at the Indiana Microbrewer's Festival where she was really interested in talking to us. Not just for NUVO but also for a definitive Indiana beer book that she is writing.
I first met her a couple of years back when she was directing "Asylum", a production by the Beckman Theater. She's a wonderful lady with a fascinating background and very diverse interests.
Again, I'm glad that she and so many others made it out to our first anniversary party.

Happy 1st Birthday, HBG (only 20 more til you're legal)!!
It's hard to believe everything that has happened to this blog since I started it one year ago today. I think I had played hookey from work that day, and was bored, and thought, "Hey! I love beer! I should blog about beer!" And it all began with the following words:
"Welcome, fellow beer geeks! I've decided to create this blog to advance the good taste of beer drinkers everywhere! Headquartered in the Circle City, we will strive to educate the masses on what good beer really is! Or, we can just say screw all the "Lite" piss drinkers, and keep the good stuff for ourselves!"
I've made some great new friends this year, especially my fellow Knights of the Beer Roundtable, and that has been the best part of this. Well, that, and occasionally getting free beer. It's a toss-up between those two things. And it's been really cool watching it transform from its original form to the kick-ass layout that Mike does for us, and hearing all the other ideas we're coming up with daily. And it makes me laugh to think of all the media coverage this thing gets.
Now, as I'm sure we'll do many times tomorrow night at the official birthday/anniversary/bar mitzvah/whatever party that I hope you'll join us at, I raise my bottle of brew (which happens to be a Goose Island Honker's Ale - first thing I pulled out of my beer fridge) to you, Hoosier Beer Geeks, and say thanks for all the fun that this first year has brought, and let's look forward to many more to come!

One Year Upcoming and a Decision to Make
In just a little over a month from today, Hoosier Beer Geek will celebrate it's one year anniversary. While the technical date is August 8th, we've pushed the bash back one day to August 9th, which is a normal Roundtable night. We've decided to go back to our roots for this evening, and we'll be shacking up at Deano's Vino for the night. Our groupies are most definitely encouraged to come, so put it on your calendars now!
And in celebration of our first anniversary, Deano has proclaimed he will put a beer on tap in our honor for the week of the bash. A beer we get to choose. Now, you need to know that collectively, we have many opinions and it takes us a while to reach a final decision on anything. I mean, it took us nearly two weeks to decide on the beer quote we're putting on the back of our soon-to-be-released Hoosier Beer Geek t-shirts. So telling us to pick a beer that represents us for this event has touched off a debate. Any of you want to make some suggestions??
