Love

The blogosphere is an organism, and it functions best when all the parts are working together. In the last couple days, I've had posts that produced comments like:

"Come on, I posted a link to that weeks ago when we had this discussion."

and

"I think Angelo has blogged the $2 tuesdays [at Eastburn] at least twice. And I twitter it atleast every week."

and

"You should read It's Pub Night more carefully ;-). I blogged about the $2 @eastburn pints in Feb."

I have been remiss. In atonement, I will show a little link love. Please bail me out by following the links that interest you. In the blogosphere, nothing's nicer than a little extra traffic.

• Derek, for example, has a review of the much-hyped John John Dead Guy--Rogue's flagship aged in Dead Guy Whiskey barrels. (Dead Guy Whiskey is made from a wort of Dead Guy ale, which makes this a slightly incestuous beer.) I find his review highly plausible.

• Bill recently alerted readers to another Portland blog I should probably put in my blogroll, A Pint for Dionysus.
  

• Matt, his father, Dissident. It's cool, but you have to follow the link to see.

• Dave and Bruce have a look at Stumptown Tart and Redhook Tripel (both of which are getting surprisingly strong early marks).

• Corey taps a firkin. He hopes the act will get people more interested in cask beer. Fair enough, but I was already interested.

• And finally, Oakshire posts some pics of the Summer Games in Pacific City.

Oh, and hey, did anyone hear that Eastburn has $2 pints on Tuesdays?
