We have 'officially' declared 2008 the "Year in Beer". There is even a press release so it doesn't get more official than that.

What is the "Year in Beer"?
We plan to attend a major beer event or destination each month in 2008 (our schedule is to the right). Our travels, which will be chronicled on the website, will take us to seven destinations in the United States and five in Europe.

The theme of our travels is 'the world becomes smaller and friendlier through beer'. With beer as a catalyst, we will be meeting people from other states and countries and trying to grow as people.

Through our blog and episodes of beergeek.TV, fellow beer geeks and travelers will be able to experience “The Year in Beer” as it happens.

The culmination of our travels will be a book due out in 2009.

A Little Background
The "Year in Beer" was originally conceived of as a travel show; somewhere between Rick Steves and Anthony Bourdain.

After several years of trying to find someone who could help us make the "Year in Beer" a reality (and failing miserably), we have decided to take the proverbial 'bull by the horns' and go ahead and just do it.

Though its present conception is a book, we are still committed to the the idea that the "Year in Beer" would make an excellent televison travel show.
