    Here's where I'm at as of today:

    Ratings: 2009 | Reviews: 1516

    Started in October, 2017. I've slowed down a little since recently hitting 2000 Ratings as I was starting to feel a bit burned out. I still enjoy the process of reflecting / analyzing the various aspects of a beer. I did stop trying to review a ton of beers at beer festivals and typically don't do it in social settings unless it is with other BAs. There's a local brewery that does a great job and I try to review every one of their beers.

    The reviewing process has been very helpful to me over the years to develop my beer senses and I often will look back on my past reviews when deciding on a beer to buy. For some reason, the 2000 Ratings was a threshold number for me and going forward, I'm going to be more casual about doing reviews, but don't intend to stop.

    This has become my M.O.

    I found myself ignoring friends so I could write detailed reviews, instead of enjoying their company. Decided that was not good.

    Beer at home by myself? Hell yes I'm reviewing.
