Today is a special day. It is the first day of my unemployment. Until now I have been on my vacation, using all the free days I had left. Although it felt as I was jobless before this day, it is still a bit uncomfortable – this feeling of not having a job. Now I […]

You have got to understand my plan of execution of the Beer Mission before I continue with it. In the beginning I decided I am not going to google any beer but just write what I taste. The consequence of this masterplan is however a bit embarrassing. For instance, when I wrote that I should […]
