Yes, that's the goal of the blog. So, yes, I will be doing this.
I think it will be cute to rate it based on six beers (i.e.... oh, wait, what's that thing called? When they sell beer in that standard bunch amount that's more than one beer and less than a thousand?).
This is the rating scheme:
( 0 ) :: I wouldn't have drank it, and thus, it will not be on this blog.
:: Worth including in this blog if only to include. I might never drink a beer of this rating again, and probably wouldn't want to except under dress (that is, there weren't other forms of alcohol around), but I'd rate it here, just for completeness. :: Worth drinking again, if a beer of this rating were around and I wanted a beer; though, another alcohol might be better. Here, I mention another alcohol being better, because obviously, any of 3-6 beer is obviously better, any beer of rating 2 is identical, and why would I drink a beer of 1 over a beer of 2? 2 means it's good enough as a beer, maybe not great as a drink; and, something made of rum might be better. :: A respectable beer. Equivalent to some idealized generic alcoholic beverage, but also, equivalent to some generic, though not necessarily idyllic beer. Forgettable, but, if it's what's on the menu, the name would at least ring a bell. :: Getting into the good beers. For something to get a 4, it means that I'm willing to spend some money to get this beer, and that more often that not, if I want a beer, I wouldn't complain if this was the only thing on the menu, even though I'd pick something better if I were anywhere with a substantial menu. :: One of my favourites. 5 means that when I drink, when I spend money, when I go for what I know I'll like, I would go for this. In other words, if heaven were a basement full of chilled taps, and I had infinite time to drink every beer of any rating, yes, I would still sometimes drink this specific, 5-rated beer. :: A beautiful beer. Just... beautiful. So beautiful, that describing the beer requires being able to describe the beer beautifully, and thus, begets an impossible, infinite loop; and so, I can only describe the beer by example: recently, I drank a double IPA from Paddockwood, where every sip I took--yes, sip, as a strict measure equal to less than a mouthful but more than a drop--for every sip I took, I had to sit back and appreciate that sip, as a wonderful beer drinking experience unto itself. If you have not experienced this kind of drink, you have not drunk. If you have not experienced this kind of feeling, you have not lived--and so you should drink one of these, so that you have.
