Something I would be interested in learning about would be like "Hops. From farm to glass" something with malts and other ingredients too. Excited to keep reading your stories!

I’d love to see these ideas:

Brewery profiles;

Brewery openings/closings;

Brewery report cards;

Beers of the week;

Brewer/industry member profiles;

Travel ideas.

Looking forward to reading. 🙂👍🏼

There’s a distinct possibility for many of these. Thanks for the suggestions!

1) Might be nice to reprofile the breweries. A kind of up to date if you will.

2) i think this is a given, please do

3) I think this is just going to happen since you're a new Das

4) Not a fan of a report card, but maybe a quarterly or trimesterly approach as to brewery updates with beer/food currently on menu, and any plans for change

5) YES!

6) Maybe highlight someone in the industry every month.

7) This could be an interesting look at well known beer spots to lesser known ones. Help others plan for things to do while traveling.

8) Highlight in person events. Maybe we eventually reconvene some small beer shares where you interact with your readers, and you discuss the beers had or location visited.

9) only if you find the time to do one

10) Of course

11) Of course

12) Don't have to unless you want to.

Way to go Will! I love all ideas regarding the format. Glad you’re sticking to writing ‘bout beer. Stop into Fall Street Brewing if your ever out by Seneca Falls.

Hi Will,

Have you ever thought of offering a vendor service on your blog that could allow a person to advertise handmade items that breweries may be interested in ? While at Laurentide in Penn Yan I saw a very clever peace sign made from barrel staves and barrel rings. I have copied the design and have 6 for sale. Your brewery exposure would be beneficial to reach them. This might not be any thing you want to get into, but I had to ask.

I have pics if you want to see. Thanks for your consideration.
