Abolish the PLCB

[mrbigjas]

lew bryson has a new blog. it rocks.

ok i've been requested to edit this, to give some more context.

if you drink beer and live in the area, you know who lew bryson is: beer and whiskey writer, blogger, drinker. in addition to his web page and his everyday blog, he started a new blog, linked above, about why the PLCB should be abolished.

now, it seems to me you will never uproot the kajilllion dollar business that is the PLCB. but it also seems that if you want to take on this task, you have to start somewhere, and that somewhere should be with a relatively respected, high profile member of the drinking community consolidating information and people into one place. a scattershot approach has even less of a chance than the .00000001% chance that this has.

anyway, i think it's an interesting read for anyone who deals with the PLCB, which is why i posted it.

(and no, i don't believe that capaneus's mad skillz at gaming the PLCB system count as a reason to keep it, unless he starts posting/emailing me recommendations BEFORE he buys the entire local inventory of rockin cheap wine)

I say spill the beans!

I can't access blogs at work (anything fun is blocked), so I was hoping someone would say more about the blog and who this guy is.

Bryson is a beer and spirits writer who lives in Bucks County, author of several guide books (Pennsylvania Breweries, New York Breweries, etc.), managing editor of Malt Advocate magazine, columnist for Portfolio.com and one of the very best writers about beer, bourbon, Irish whiskey and food that I have ever read. Hands down the best beer writer in America.
