I withdraw my complaint :) These are the early days for the BITE blog, and until this post it really looked like the blog was very carefully thematic rather than personal, so this post seemed very out of step with the rest. I'm just overly cynical, having seen far too many stealth adverts in various places (and having been offered various sorts of inducements myself to do the same sort of thing). I only noticed now you have been using category tags, so it's easy enough for me just to look at blog posts categorised "Beer" etc. if I don't feel like reading the other content. Fair enough, steve!

As soslinky says, is this not what Blogs are for - a little insight as to what the Bite team have been getting up to in their busy week. Please dont give up the random blogs - not being a beer drinker myself, these make a pleasant change to all the beer reviews. I like this post.

However your point is very much noted and I will indeed refrain from writing about anything off topic in the near future.

I would strongly advise the beerintheevening gang to think hard about keeping the site on-topic. I don't object to overt advertising (even the laughable Beefeater link that sometimes appears through the Google ads on the front page). I don't even object to stealth advertising if it's related to the site content (e.g. if a brewer sends you something to drink and you review it without saying it arrived free). But this sort of thing is a credibility-killer. metoo beerdrinker2007. I would strongly advise the beerintheevening gang to think hard about keeping the site on-topic.

I thought that was what blogs were for, you know, random! I am going to get one for a friend for Christmas. Not being a beer drinker myself I enjoyed reading about something different.
