The ratio of promoting others to promoting myself on this site is pretty high so I am ok to show a little pride here. The pic above says it all. Months of nothin’ but hustle (think running through first base vs. pool sharks) have led to this. I have been creeping up the board for #1 beer news site on Google for some time now, hovering in various spots on the front page for months. But until tonight, I have never seen Google credit my site as the #1 source for beer news.

I gotta tip my cap to the Discovery Channel and DFH. Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head appeared on a craft beer special along with others last night. I didn’t get to watch it but Dogfish Head Theobroma must’ve been heavily featured because I saw over 100 searches for that beer lead to

today. And I’m sure it’s not a coincidence that I sit atop of the pile today. That said, even as you read this tomorrow, I may drop in the ranks because they change so much. So I will relish this now.
Even moreso I gotta stop and say thank you to everyone who checks in day-to-day here and those who spread the word about the site in the various forums, blogs, and other places. Keep doing it. Big things are coming down the pipeline so let’s keep turning up the heat (especially on those big breweries!).
Now, back to the news…
Congrats Adam! Huge accomplishment! Let’s hope it stays up there.
Congrats Adam. You do good work here.
I watched the thing on Discovery. It was decent, but nothing special. They did do a whole segment on Theobroma though.
Your site had become my number 2 site in my rotation. Right behind RateBeer.com. You deserve the recognition.
Thanks for all of the support, guys
