Undergoing a Low-Grade Metamorphism...

just a minor change. I am now "on-the-rocks", aka "the blogger-formerly-known-as-joe-6-pack".

After consideration for a while, I have decided to change my alias, my nom de plume, my pen name, yada, yada.

One reason is that there is a syndicated newspaper columnist that goes by "joesixpack" and I found his blog last night. As he has been doing the newspaper thing much longer than I have been doing this blog, I decided that I wanted to avoid ever getting a "cease-and-desist" email or letter from his attorney. I knew that was a possibility from when I started, almost three years ago. So I am just exercising the "ounce-of-prevention". I am not afraid of anything, I still stand by my beer-enthusiast pedigree, I just don't need any additional hassles at this time, life tends to offer enough as it is.

Nothing has changed about my intake of adult beverages, I am still a connoisseur of quality malted-barley products, a collector of the cylindrical, metallic containers thereof (and other related logo-clad items - "breweriana"), and a brewery historian. So don't think that my new alias suggests I have taken up single malt scotches or any other hard stuff (it burns my stomach anyway). I do have a glass of wine from time-to-time (that is more the subject of the next post).

It also doesn't imply any drastic changes about my personal situation. The financial aspects are a little better than they have been the last couple of years, while other stuff remains more or less the same.

I couldn't find any satisfying way of combining several of my interests into one blogging name. And if a better one comes to me in my stream-of-delirium, I may change it again.

So let's give it a try.
