\"Beer<\/a>
Beer Diaries (plural); backup notebook; holiday reading (equally relevant and excellent); and a cup of tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So,\u00a0Beer Diary II<\/em> is dead \u2014 or at least about to embark on its mostly-bookshelved (but never abandoned) retirement \u2014 long live\u00a0Beer Diary\u00a0<\/em>III<\/em>. I’m in Sydney for a few more days, having one of those holidays<\/a>1<\/sup><\/a> wherein you stop wearing your watch, stop wearing even shoes<\/i>, and swiftly lose track of what day it is. Procrastinating somewhat from a “Sydney Reading” post (to which I’ll return tomorrow), I realised that I’d (again<\/a>) gotten way behind in transcribing my scribbled notes into the “real” (but only slightly less scribbly) Diary, and so spent a few minutes catching-up, only to discover that I’ve filled it up. Luckily, Em found the supercute blue one pictured above on her European holiday, and it’s ready to take over.<\/p>\n

Diary II<\/em> started on 6 September 2010 with Yeastie Boys ‘Her Majesty’ 2010<\/a> and ended, damn near bang on three years later with the adorably-mad Yeastie Boys \/ Firestone Walker \/ Panhead collaboration ‘Engelbert Pumpernickel’ as its two-hundred-and-seventy-seventh entry \u2014 which means I’m having a beer-related moment<\/a>2<\/sup><\/a> worth scribbling about every four days, on average; a steady (but not unhealthy) acceleration from the first\u00a0Diary<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is my Beer Diary;<\/a>3<\/sup><\/a> it really does exist primarily\u00a0as an actual diary<\/em>. Thanks for joining me.<\/p>\n
