We all know things are changing rapidly out there. People are brewing 4,000-year-old Chinese beer recipes and putting lychee fruit in beer for cryin’ out loud. Because the beer world is changing as rapidly as the regular world, I feel as though I must adapt. I already do a lot of video on this site, but it’s always been meant to augment print coverage. I am a writer after all. But that is all changing. Video is the new E-mail, the new medium through which we connect. We don’t just sit behind a computer screen and type our clever screen name anymore, we post videos on YouTube, Facebook, Myspace and on and on. So, in light of this, I’m starting a new feature that may just become the blog some day. I’ll be posting a video of my ugly mug talking to you about beer at least once a week to start. The idea is that you’ll watch this, come up with some clever retort and post a response video. In this way, we can have a very informed and active conversation about beer face to face. OK, so it won’t be real time. Who cars, it’ll be funny at least.

Forgive the low audio on this first post. I was playing around with a new microphone, and I never did get the levels on right. So without further ado, here’s the new format:

Budmo!
