Twittering

For the past few months, I have been attending meetings of Kansas Beer Guys, formerly known as the The Beer Selection Committee, at a friends' house. There are three members and two groupies (another member's wife and myself). The members range in ages from 27 to 40 to 62, but they share a passion for beer, especially microbrewery and specialty beers from around the world and all are homebrewers.

In April, the Kansas Beer Guys began a pale ale contest, sometimes called "The Pale Ale Pandomonium." They sample 8-11 different beers each Thursday, the samples carefully poured so that it is exactly divided equally into three glasses, then rank them. After each pour is ranked, one of the members twitters.

Now, Van and I didn't know what twittering was, aside from the sound birds make in the morning when you want to sleep longer. It sounds like something that Virginia Woolfe would approve of -- stream of consciousness in short bursts on the computer. It's taken awhile, but I think Van has gotten the hang of twittering and does his share throughout the night.

It's no coincidence that by the end of the night, all three are twitterpated...
