Pimped by Pinyadda: Aleheads.com

Here at Pinyadda, we love online content publishers. I mean we REALLY love pubs – more than fat kids love cake, more than bros love ice-ing, and even more than Frank loves his Dad.  Which is why we have created a new series strictly devoted to featuring some of our user’s favorite publishers they follow on Pinyadda.

So to kick things off, we will be profiling two of our favorite publishers on Pinyadda this week, starting with Aleheads.com.  We recently spoke to the fine gentlemen over at Aleheads and we are proud to provide our very first Featured Publisher Spotlight.

CG: What is Aleheads?

AH: Aleheads is a beacon of absurdity in the otherwise mediocre sea of beer blogs.

We provide Beer 101 for novices, information about brewers and breweries, and tasting notes for a wide variety of beers. It is written by a group of jackasses who know just enough about beer to be annoying in a bar, but not enough to be accurate or insightful in any way.

CG: How did all of this beer blogging get started?

AH: Aleheads was founded on a wing and a prayer in 2010 by three drunk dreamers. They had been sending endless, pedantic e-mails to one another about beer for years. Finally, one of the Aleheads suggested that perhaps they should capture their conversations on the interwebs to preserve them in the dustbin of history. Aleheads was born!

Soon, other Aleheads joined the team to add their unique voices to the fray. Since those wild, frantic early days, Aleheads has become a lean, mean beer-blogging machine. It is now the voice of the beer-drinking populace and represents Aleheads of all creeds. Aleheads is a juggernaut…it can not be stopped.

CG: So if I am out at bar, who should I be talking to about Aleheads?  Who would absolutely LOVE your site?

AH:  Aleheads readers are passionate about beer and beer culture. They may work in bars or breweries, or in cubicles where they spend their days dreaming of hops and barley. All an Aleheads reader needs to enjoy the site is a willingness to read and learn about beer.

Aleheads readers most likely spend their time drinking with friends, looking for interesting brews, visiting Alehouses and Ale Factories, and engaging in beer-fueled debates with anyone who will listen. They love sports, movies, travel and cookies. Oh, and beer.

CG: How is Aleheads different from other beer blogs?
AH: Aleheads is irreverent, profane, informative, and occasionally surreal. Blessed with a stable of excellent writers and strong personalities, Aleheads readers should come away from the site having learned a little and laughed a lot. We try not to get too bogged down in details since beer and beer culture is supposed to be fun.
Above all else, Aleheads is a blog for the music makers and the dreamers of dreams. And drunk people.

CG: Finally, the people behind Aleheads, tell us about your bad selves.

AH: Aleheads currently has 7 staff-members who carefully craft the prose that is disseminated to their adoring readership:

Brother Barley McHops: Brother Barley is the site administrator and the most verbose and prolific writer on Aleheads. He posts on a dizzying array of topics in his signature rambling, stream-of-consciousness prose.

Dr. Ripped Van Drinkale, III: Doc is the true beer expert amongst the Aleheads and his informed, opinionated posts have become fan favorites amongst Aleheads readers. Doc loves to share his hard-won beer knowledge with all who will listen.

Baron Sudsy Von Brue: An unrepentant beer snob, the Baron reports on prestige beers, hard-to-find offerings, high-end Alehouses, and elite Ale Factories. Sudsy is on an eternal quest to find the Holy Grail of brews…whatever that may be.

Mr. Slouch Sixpack: The everyman and resident contrarian amongst the Aleheads, Slouch writes highly-charged, pop culture-infused posts. He also serves as the social networking maven for the team.

Sir Magnus Skullsplitter: Fun-loving and good-natured, Magnus takes a thoughtful, measured approach to beer writing. He rarely meets a beer he doesn’t like and he often serves as the clear-headed voice of reason amongst the Aleheads.

Professor pH Lager: The Professor is the home-brewing guru for Aleheads. His unrivaled experience in the brew-it-yourself arts allows him to drop knowledge on Aleheads readers who want to learn more about making their own suds.

Lord Mashtun Copperpot: The newest Alehead, Mashtun brings to the table clever writing and an eager willingness to explore the world of beer. His unique style blends well with the cacophony of voices on the site.

And there you have it folks, our first publisher highlight completed!  Go and follow this fine publication on the Aleheads’ Pinyadda page and support them by commenting on their posts and pinning them to Facebook and Twitter.
Also, we are always accepting suggests for the Featured Publisher Spotlights, so send us any pubs you would like to have us interview at publishers [at] pinyadda [dot] com.
