From the beer blogs - can we afford beer?
Greetings all. I'm Steve Sullivan, a colleague of Rob's who made a guest appearance in this blog last year following the mob scene that was the Beer, Bourbon and BBQ show at the fairgrounds.
Rob has invited me to guest post from time to time about what's on the minds of kindred beer bloggers.
Beer blogs, like beers, come in many varieties. And, again like beers, some are swill while others are extraordinary. My job is to be your designated driver as we go blog-hopping through the best of what's out there.
One of my favorites is a testament to truth in advertising - A Good Beer Blog. The blogger is Alan McLeod, a 40-something from Ontario, Canada. Rob has had a link to McLeod's blog for some time, and with good reason. The blog has great breadth, offering reviews, news, a little science and some occasional philosophical ponderings.
Among the questions rolling around McLeod's head last week was, as we sink deeper into receession, is beer an affordable luxury? Although he doesn't arrive at an answer, he does lay out some thoughtful principals to consider.
Check out A Good Beer Blog and while you're there, offer McLeod some kind words to help pull him out of his recession dread.
And if you have suggestions for Rob or me about other beer blogs we should be visiting, by all means let us know.

Rob needs to acknowledge his honorary membership in the Chesapeake Region Alliance of Beer Bloggers (C.R.A.B.B.) and add the list visible at the right side of my blog, www.beerinbaltimore.blogspot.com, to his blog.
(For what it's worth, Rob proudly wears his CRABB blazer every time he's in the newsroom. We'll be adding the other member blogs to our roll soon. Thanks for the suggestion. - Steve)
