Faithful Liquid Diet readers, some friends of mine have started what is turning out to be an absolutely fantastic blog and podcast on the Kansas City food and drink scene called Feed Me KC. It is exploring all aspects of what KC has to offer, not just the obvious (BBQ, as delicious as it is… but we all know KC has awesome BBQ, so FeedMeKC is helping you see what ELSE is around… and it’s a LOT!).
The podcast is well done, funny, entertaining and extremely informative. I’m impressed. The writing is good, everything is concise and the blog is professional and awesome-looking.
Check it out and enjoy! I have more beer reviews in the hopper for The Liquid Diet, so stay tuned!
I’m still here!

Once again (and you’ve heard it before), I’m still here and I’m still going to contribute to this blog, but the posts have been really anemic for a while. A little explanation: I am BUSY!!! The blog is simple fun and it’s not a priority, as much as I hate how that sounds, but it’s the truth. I have been getting killed at work and I have a big event later this year that is taking a lot more time up. Second, I’m on a healthy eating kick. I am doing really well with it and beer just doesn’t play into the equation. Third, I just haven’t had much opportunity to drink beer and if I have it’s been the usual social calls, not really drinking interesting new stuff I haven’t reviewed before. Like last year, I’m still working through a lot of beers I have on hand, so in the rare times I drink one at home, it’s something I’ve written about here already.
So, as in the past, I’m on a bit of a hiatus from the blog, but I will be back and I appreciate your patience! In the meantime, there are no shortages of beer blogs to take up your time, so enjoy them while I’m trying to improve my health and all that!
Where, Oh Where, Are You?

Sorry for the low post volume recently, everyone. I am really taking my health a lot more seriously and I’ve cleaned up my diet to perfection (not kidding, I have eaten a model diet for the past 3 weeks, no cheating!) and alcohol doesn’t play into the equation at this point in the game. The good news is I’ve lost about 14 pounds and reduced my BMI by close to 6 points in 3 weeks, so the effort is well worth it and I’m putting new habits in place that I can sustain for a lifetime. It has been hard not reviewing beers, especially now that the weather is cooling off and it’s my favorite time of year to sip, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to indulge here and there over the holiday season, but at this point my health is more important than drinking beer, so posts are going to be few and far between for a while, I’m sorry to say. I’m definitely NOT giving up on the blog, but I do need to set it aside for a while.
A New Look for 2010

As much as I hate to give up the nifty Bigfoot bottle 2009 bottlecap header from 2009′s theme, I figured 2010 deserves a new look to the site. I think this one is super clean and easy to read, so while it’s a little on the sterile side I think it’s a nice look. Let me know what you think!
No, I’m Not Dead!

I know, I haven’t posted anything in quite some time, but I’ve been traveling or doing something else profession-related every weekend for the past while, so once Thanksgiving is over I’ll be back in the swing of things and writing more reviews. Thanks for your patience!
Wisconsin Score!

I stopped at a grocery store, a neighborhood market and a liquor store on my way out of Madison today and I couldn’t believe all the great stuff they had! I went so many places because I was looking for a bottle shop that had singles so I could mix it up. I did pretty well, but it was tempting to buy a bunch of 6 packs and send them home! lol
Wisconsin, Here I Come!

I’ll be traveling for business for a few days to Wisconsin and Illinois, hoping to pick up some good beers and do a couple reviews from the road if I have the time. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to bring anything back with me as I will be flying, but at least if I can score a couple of Wisconsin beers you can’t get here I will be happy!

Was at Lukas Liquors this weekend and spotted Moose Drool cans, as well as Lagunitas beers in bottles. I picked up a bottle of Hop Stoopid (104 IBU’s or something crazy) that I will be reviewing soon. After this weekend I am all beered out for a while. Oofa!
Is Dead Canary Brewing Dead?

Late last year I heard about Dead Canary Brewing, a new brewery that was opening a tasting room/brewery in the West Bottoms that was run by two women. Their beer choices looked crazy and I was really excited about the endeavor. I emailed them and was invited to a tasting that she said was going to happen soon, then I never heard anything. That was in December 2008. The last entry on their blog/website was in January of 2009. I emailed them again and got no response. Is this canary dead? What happened, if so? I’m bummed!

Sorry for the recent general lack of posting, folks. I’ve been eating better and exercising more and, as such, drinking my usual amount of beer and sharing the experience with you is not something that fits into this regime. With the warmer weather upon us, too, it seems like when I do get to enjoy a beer or three it’s something cheap and cold to be drunk out in the sun! lol
I will make a concerted effort to get back to doing at least one good review per week, and hopefully can crank up the volume a little more than that, too. Thanks for your patience!
