Session #94 – The announcement. Friday, Dec. 5th – Your role in the beer ‘scene’. What it is?

Nov 13, 2014

The Session, a.k.a. ‘Beer Blogging Friday’, is an opportunity once a month for beer bloggers from around the world to get together and write from their own unique perspective on a single topic. Each month, a different beer blogger hosts the Session, chooses a topic and creates a round-up listing all of the participants, along with a short pithy critique of each entry. Friday December 5th 2014 will see my latest ‘hosting’ of The Session, #94 in the series.

From a point in time when I was amongst the top 10 posters on the whole of Beeradvocate, to now, where I barely post any formal reviews in the public domain or blog much anymore, I have witnessed my own role in the beer scene evolve over time. I’ve thought about what my role is on many occasions in the past, and even (sort of) written about it once before, but a reply to a Tweet of mine a few days ago got me thinking about that question once again.

As I reacted to the crock that is #stoutday, @andrewinski1 replied to my succinct thought, and it got me thinking – which part of the beer scene do I currently inhabit?

Are you nothing more than an interested consumer? Are you JUST a consumer? Are you a beer evangelist? Are you a wannabe, beer ‘professional’? Are you a beer writer? All of the above? Some of the above? None of the above? Where do you fit, and how do you see your own role in the beer landscape?

Please remember to send me the link to your contribution to Session #94 on Dec, 5th.

    This is one of the Sessions I quite look forward to reading what others have to say. Much more interesting that writing about me, like here.
