Oh, hello.I hope your week's been great. Did you celebrate Guy Fieri's birthday ? (If not, don't feel bad, all I did was send that tweet.) How are you enjoying Georgia Beer Day ? (For what it's worth, a beer-loving friend tells me the Brett IPA they're selling at Monday Night's Garage space is "incredible.") Have you been listening to the new Migos? (Pro-tip: put "Stir Fry" on repeat and dance on the nearest table.) Are you going to Orpheus Brewing's Souper Bowl on Feb. 3? (Full disclosure: I will be part of their "panel of expert judges" that day.) OK, OK, enough with the questions, Austie. Maybe you should start a new paragraph.About a year ago, Blake Tyers and I spent some time knocking around Massachusetts and New York. We published few small things right after the trip, and then one of my favorite things I've ever written a few weeks after that, and now I'm here to type at you about the next one. (There will be one more big story to come from that trip, hopefully in the next month or two, but I don't wanna spoil it. Stay tuned!)Joey Pepper is an interesting dude. He dropped out of college because he thought he had a future in beer. He started homebrewing and working at bars, and before long, wouldn't you know it, he was a bit of a craft beer celebrity. Along the way, he took his brewing to the professional level, too. He's got a huge future ahead of him, and I'm proud to say Good Beer Hunting's got his definitive story right here . Please enjoy.talk soon,AustinPS — For a little extra credit reading, I'd highly recommend the first post on Kyle Kastranec's new Banquet and Chill blog . I especially enjoy this sentiment: "I’m not saying we can’t be passionate, just not zealous. I’m not saying we can’t have opinions, just not absolutes. And I’m not saying we all need to be kumbaya. We just need to chill. Everyone has a different float for their boat." Something to think about. Just be cool, y'all.
