I learned of a documentary called "Beertickers: Beyond the Ale" filmed by Phil Parkin. It follows his attempt to reach his 500th tick. The catch is the "official" volume for ticking is an astounding 28 half pints - some three and one half growlers of beer. In his blog, Appellation Beer, Stan Hieronymus comments, "This does not seem like a good idea."
What may be a good idea is to convert this site to a ticking log once the new year rolls around. I had been wondering what to do once I reached my goal and this would keep me active and involved and with luck, I will pass up fewer favourites for the sake of getting closer to my goal. Or not - a huge part of the fun has been trying new things and taking another look at beers I had once dismissed.
