Dear friends and Delegates,

Thanks for continuing to support the United Nations of Beer. Our site continues to grow rapidly in size and readership.

Tell your beer-loving friends about our site. Pretty soon, we'll be wielding enough clout to begin strong-arming brewers into giving you exclusive UNOB discounts.

There's TONS of news this month. I hope I remember to mention everything!!

Ask the Beer Doctor!

Ask the Beer Doctor about a burning medical-beer question that's on your mind...

Welcome to our new Delegates

It's been another great month for new Delegates. Please forgive me if I forget anybody!

A dry state! Everybody knows there's no beer in Utah. Right? Wrong! Steve LaRue is our first Utah Beer Guide. Excellent to have you aboard, Steve!

The world is a BIG place, but one man believes he's big enough to write about the ENTIRE planet. Meet Kenneth Hart, our World beer guide. G'day mate! And good luck!

Welcome to Matt Lyman, who has joined our North Carolina beer guide. Looking forward to your stuff, Matt...

Our Ontario beer guide has yet another Delegate, with Andrew "The Bottler" Harris joining Batman, Robin and The Riddler! Great to have you, Andrew.

There's more to come, with Kentucky and Wisconsin on the list of new territories we expect to gain a toehold in. Keep an eye on the home page for details.

I'll make formal announcements on these Delegates-in-waiting as soon as there's time to add them to the site. Welcome to you all and thanks for volunteering your services.
