Let’s get it started!

Happy New Year, everyone!

I think it’s easy to get jaded about the New Year and the mindless and commercialized sense of renewal exploited to hawk exercise programs and self-help books. But human beings really do work in cycles, and I think it’s a great thing to view the New Year as a time of planning and anticipating growth, change, and new adventures while reflecting on the journey thus far.

All the best to you as you take on new challenges and make new friends in 2012.

The EQ of beer: Red Hook Long Hammer IPA

Red Hook Long Hammer IPAI have recently discovered a few things:

(1) I think of the taste of a beer in terms of an EQ curve.
(2) I am not alone in this odd perspective.

What’s the “frequency contour” of your favorite brew?
