My name is Bill and after launching and closing multiple failed blogs about everything from politics to recycled dick jokes, it was time for me to start a simple blog about the one thing I am most passionate about craft beer.

At Bearcat on Beer, I will be focusing on craft beer brewed locally within Central PA and the Commonwealth in general but will certainly toast quality beers from all over.

Expect posts about what I think is happening in the craft beer business as well as how craft beer fits within the broader context of life. Some of this will get weird.

Please be sure to follow along on Twitter @BearcatOnBeer.
