I have come to the conclusion that given my background in IT and my quest for extra income need to come together.  I do not have the time to search for part-time web work because of my full time job and the lack of consistency that it offers.  That and of course small businesses paying me my going rate.  Given these circumstances I decided to give this blogging thing a try. 

I figured that I am opinionated (to a fault) and I have time to write a few posts a week.  I also believe I have some pretty entertaining insights.  How humble of me.  I also have an interest in both economics and beer.  So the title of the blog should be appropriate.  In addition I will touch on things like cars, relationships, and the occasion political comment.  The politics will probably come up more then many will want and those posts will unfortunately develop into firestorms of comments.

As a general summary of my thoughts on economics it comes down to a very true euphemism.  “Nothing is free.”  In my posts I hope to give you unique insights or at the very least expose a rather evident truth you may have already know but never applied to economics.  My post “It’s all about getting laid” will open your eyes into how we as human beings react to day to day economics.  In addition to these posts I will also be reviewing beer.  These two things may seem ways apart but when one thinks about these two things they end up being together.  After all you were not drinking orange juice the last time you discussed tax cuts, strong coffee maybe but not orange juice.

I hope you enjoy the blog and visit often and occasionally donate or pick up one the books I have listed.  Especially “The Arm Chair Economist”.
