Hi Jay,
It was a great pleasure to click at one of my favorite bookmarks and see it up and running again with fresh and juicy beer tidbits. The format description sounds great. See you around soon.

Prost, Cheers and Mahalo…

As I left for work early Wednesday morning I picked up a sprinkler-soaked newspaper and casually tossed it into the garage. No biggie; other than the crossword there hasn’t been much else of interest in the paper since February, and I carry a crossword book with me on the train for such occasions.

So now it’s Sunday, and I’m just about to take a stack of newspapers out to the recycle bin when something tells me I ought to at least *look* at Wednesday’s food & wine section.

Yay! Jay!

Now I need to talk to my neighbor about not watering on Wednesdays.

And so it begins…

What they all said above.

Congrats Jay. Looking forward to a long great run. As Bill always managed to squeeze in his column: Salud!

Like everyone, I’ll miss insights from the west coast that Bill used to provide. If anyone was meant for the job, it is you Jay. Congratulations; I’m sure you’ll carry on accordingly. cheers

I felt from the beginning that you were the heir apparent; this is great news. Congrats and best of luck!

Hope the BBB is maintained too; it’s top notch.

Hooray! Thank you, Jay, for picking up our education about good beer. I can’t wait.
I hope you cover beer that’s available to us here in the bay area, so please let us know where we can buy your favorites.
Now, if you really want to follow in Bill Brand’s shoes, how about a big mustache?
