Getting ready for Beer Bloggers & Writters Conference #BBC15

We are just 5 days out from hitting the road for the Beer Bloggers and Writters Conference.  As you can see I'm busy preparing this morning.  Looking forward to what will we an awesome time.

Coney Island Brewing & Manhattan by Sail

Eric here....I enjoyed a Coney Island Brewing Overpass IPA aboard the fine Clipper City of Manhattan by Sail.

First for the beer..a pretty typical IPA with a moderate hoppy aroma. A hit of citrus upfront with sharp earthy finish. 6.2 ABV. Worked well for a Manhattan sail. I would recommend it. We'll have to get Christian the true IPA fan to try it for you some time!

Second...I want to give a shout out to Manhattan By Sail. Awesome Captain & Crew. It was an authentic laid back sail without the fufu tourist junk. Look them up when in NYC and join them for a Craft Beer Tasting Sail Saturday & Sunday's from 12-1:45. This was not the sail I was on but you can bet Christian and I will be doing it. I didn't get the Captains name so Capt., if you see this drop me a comment with your name. Thanks for an awesome time!!

It's almost time for The Big Game. You know, that big football game happening in Arizona? We can't say the name due to copyright issues, but we sure can celebrate it's arrival the way that beer fans would:

Honest beer reviews for the casual beer drinker

Eric and Christian like to drink beer. We like other people who like to drink beer. But with all the craft beers out there, how do you know which one to drink?

We looked around, and all we really found were a bunch of narcissistic beer snobs talking ad nauseum about "adjunct beers" or the "complex roast of the malt". That's all well and good for beer afficionados - but what about the casual beer drinker?

So, over a couple of pints, we decided there needed to be a simplified, down-to-earth and, well, FRANK and HONEST beer review site.

When it comes down to it, you really just want a straightforward answer.

So we started Frank About Beer to give you that honest opinion you're looking for, right from the tap. But don't take our word for it - because when we go out to the bar for tastings, WE ALSO ASK THE OPINION OF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE BAR. Think of it as crowdsourcing for beer.

Beer? Entertainment? And a WTF moment added in? That's what you get with Frank About Beer.
