Beer bloggers conference
I (Ian) elected to skip this years iteration of the Beer Bloggers Conference. It was not for lack of interest or based on negative experiences in ’10, just a matter of priorities. Having said that, I’ve been following the conference very closely via the twitter hashtag #bbc11 and updates from the rest of the 2beerguys […]
