If you’ve been following my blog over the past two months, you’ve most likely noticed that I’ve been spending quite a bit of time reviewing beers in an attempt to achieve my goal of drinking 1 beer from each of the 50 states in 50 days. Read the details here.
The deadline I originally set for myself was July 5, 2011 and unfortunately I was only able to complete 28 out of the 50 beers in that time frame. However that deadline was a little aggressive so I’m deciding to keep trying to reach my goal and extend the deadline another 50 days.
There were a few main reasons why I wasn’t able to accomplish the goal in the first 50 days and I’m fine with them:
- It’s really hard to find beers from the East Coast since I live on the west coast.
- Shipping beer is expensive and I maxed out my budget. I did a few beer trades and ordered a few online. With shipping as much as $20 each, it adds up pretty quickly.
- It’s the summer and I’ve been travelling. It’s hard to write reviews everyday when I’m on the road.
- Sometimes I just want to drink a local beer, especially if I’m going out to eat.
I still am excited to keep on going and working towards my goal and will have it reached by August 24, 2011.
