About Me
- Name: on-the-rocks
- Location: Atlanta, GA area, United States
As a Geologist/Naturalist with a strong interest in Photography (and being an aspiring writer), I hope to use my travels in the continental U.S. and my experiences (and mistakes) as Educational Resources. I have a constant "yearning to learn" and a desire to better understand the things that I see and have seen in the past. I grew up on the Georgia Piedmont, received my B.S. in Geology and later worked on the Coastal Plain, and spent 14 years in El Paso, where I received my Master's Degree and learned much about the Chihuahuan Desert.

I blog primarily over at "geosciblog" (http://geosciblog.blogspot.com), I am doing this one for fun. It is inspired by 30+ years of beer can collecting and having tried more than 3,000 different American beers during that time. “. . . And beer was drunk with reverence, as it ought to be.” — G. K.

Pittsburgh Brewing Company Needs Your Help
Here is a news article that reports some of the ongoing financial problems the brewery is facing.
Come on, if you are buying Corona or Heineken, put that stuff aside and help keep American brewery workers employed. There is a lot of brewing history (144 years) in Pittsburgh with the Iron City brands and also the Falls City (formerly of Louisville, KY).
This article explains some of the problems facing the few surviving regional breweries in the U.S. as they compete with national brewers and fad-driven imports.
