Projo Beer Blog

A little cross-pollination here as I share an item I wrote last night for the New England New Media Association listserv.

We asked: "Anyone else doing beverage features or blogs online?" You answered. Check out southcoast247.com, a site targeting younger audiences that is produced by The Standard-Times in New Bedford, Mass. Debbie Opp, Internet sales coordinator for the S-T, pointed out the site's Drinking section, which includes Beer Factor, a column dedicated to the love of beer, and the Beer Bargain of the Week, among other features. Opp says the site is entirely written, edited and produced by part-time "kids" in their 20s. God bless 'em. My favorite piece of the site so far has to be the rotating slogans in the upper left of each page of the site, including "More fun than reading Moby Dick again." Indeed.
