The changes to the site are coming along pretty well and I am excited about the new options I have with the current format. I hope that the new look is well received by you all as well.
If you are keeping track, it should become obvious that I have come to the point in working through my backlog of reviews where I was drinking a mixed pack of Flying Dog beers. Though I have not purchased a mixed pack of anything recently, it is a pretty good way to sample different styles and find out which ones you like enough to buy again. At the same time I hesitate to by some mixed packs knowing that there are some included that I would just prefer not to force down. What a dilemma!
