Portland has a great pool of beer bloggers. As Brady noted a couple weeks ago, the Wikio blog-ranking website currently thinks 4 of the top-10 beer blogs in North America are from Portland. Take that with a grain of salt, of course, but it is a symptom of our blogging prowess.
So, it was with some amount of surprise that I found a Portland-based blog that I had never heard of, that has been updated pretty regularly for about two-and-a-half years, with in-depth, well-written content: Lambic and Wild Ale. I don't think I'm alone in my ignorance: I can't find links to this blog on any other Oregon beer blog. Talk about flying under the radar.
A little googling finds that the blog's author, Aschwin de Wolf, is a native of Holland whose other interests are cryonics -- yes, freezing dead or terminally ill people for future resuscitation -- and philosophical anarchism. Uh... wow. And I thought drinking fancy beer made me somewhat intellectual.
I'm not completely in love with sour beers myself, though I'm expanding my palate a little bit in that direction. But I'm stunned at the quality of content on Lambic and Wild Ale. Check it out, especially if sours are your thing.
