New Blog on BlogsMonroe: Michigan Beer Buzz

Posted on 10 November 2007 under Beer, BlogsMonroe

Very quietly this week, a new blog has appeared here on BlogsMonroe.com. Michigan Beer Buzz is written by Sarah Nash of the blog The Place Where We Live, along with her husband Kevin. They are joined in this new venture by Monroe News staffer Rob Gorczyca of the TechBox blog. Even this early in the life of this new blog, Rob posted yesterday about the Redwood Lodge, a family fave about 10 miles from my parents’ home in the Flint area.

And yes, Rob, I’ll certainly point out the use of the same blog theme I’ve used here on Luna Pier Cook, implemented with some beautiful modifications to create a warm and friendly look for Michigan Beer Buzz. I particularly like the beer mug next to the Search box … nice touch! These themes are generally freely available (SteamyKitchen uses an elegant “pro” theme she had paid for) and are highly customizable. It’s always interesting to see how someone has implemented a given theme differently for another topic.

Michigan Beer Buzz is already a good read. I think it will likely prove to be quite popular. Head on over and check it out!

    Thanks for the plug. But actually I’m the other Sarah the one with the “The Place Where We Live” blog. You know…the one who’s been shamefully neglecting her blog for the past few months? :-)

    But now that the MI Beer Buzz blog is up and running I seemed to have been bitten by the blog bug again and hopefully will be posting more frequently on both. I just wrote two new posts yesterday on my blog.

    Actually, the beer blog was primarily Rob’s brainchild. I was just asked to be a contributor!

    P.S. Tell Mary I said congrats. I wish she was my mayor!

    Sorry, Sarah! I’ve fixed that … and you know, I think I actually looked up which was which and still got it wrong!

    Both blogs are really looking good. You have me craving some decent beer once again. Good thing I never drink more than one bottle, or I’d be in trouble here. :-)

    I know Mary’s going to be a great Mayor down here. She sure has the passion for it!
