Welcome to Cosmo's Beer Blog!

We’re a small group of friends and family scattered across the country who’ve all developed a thirst for craft and import beer. We decided that a blog would be a great venue for us to share our hobby. Here we will review beer, compare notes and challenge each other with "Beer Missions".

So welcome to our little world of discovering great tasting beer!

For some of us, the best crafted, most sought after Double IPA would be a waste. For others, a medium bodied Belgian Strong Dark Ale would leave us unsatisfied, no matter how sweet and smooth the ale.

To help make sense of our reviews and opinions, we thought that it would help to know a little bit more about each of us and our preferences.
