Well let's face it, this blog is going to be mostly about beer, homebrewing, and travel. If you don't like that then what the hell is wrong with you anyhow? I've got a Facebook account too but this gives me a little more space to rant and ramble and integrate pictures with a blog post. So here goes.
First off where did the name Beer Gnome come from? My friends Josh and Cat now living in Bamberg, Germany (Josh is stationed in the US Army there) dubbed me with the name Beer Gnome (pronounced Beer Guh-Nome) when I was over there a few years ago and took Josh on a pub crawl of some of Bambergs fine brewpubs and bars. How someone that is 6'0" tall and 250 pounds can be labeled a gnome of any sort I still haven't worked out but I like the nickname so I'm keeping it.
Speaking of Bamberg. It is my favorite city in the world so naturally I will be talking about it a lot here.
Great idea Mark! Looking forward to your future posts!
ReplyDeleteNice, bro. I'll try not to, but I'm pretty sure I'll be hearing your words in the voice of Hank Hill as I read....
ReplyDeleteHowever, reading it in the Swedish Chef dialect is f'ing hilarious...
