While chumming it up at Pangaea the other day with friends, I noticed a man wearing a Drake’s shirt in line to order. I was thinking about cashing out, so I entered the line and complimented him on his shirt. Wound up striking a little convo with these two very friendly people about Drake’s barrel house and my aspirations to one day visit it. Before parting ways, the woman offered me her business card. Thinking it was for a tap house near the area I tucked it into my pocket and closed my tab.

After rediscovering the card the following day I followed the URL to, not what I thought would be a tap house, but a beer blog. The two people I was talking with were bloggers and were out doing field work / tasting. Their blog, His & Hers Beer Notes, is a joint effort between writer Daniel and designer Darcey. He writes the reviews and she makes these charming, supplemental illustrations for them, each rating them between 1 and 5 toasts which can be found under each of their contributions to the review.

It’s definitely something I’ve never seen before in a beer blog before… and I love it! How fun it must be to a shared passion with a companion and collaborate on something so unique and creative together. Although the blog is powered through wordpress and not tumblr, you should definitely check it out.
