Some of you may remember that we turned on the lights here at GuysDrinkingBeer central on the same day Stone Brewing came to town a couple of years ago, and forever shall our Chicago birthdays be intertwined. Since now and then, we&#8217;ve cranked out hundreds of posts (one every couple days, to be exact, as well as updating many more), thousands of tweets, hundreds of thousands of words about the world of beer and even a few Facebook updates as well.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Even more important, we&#8217;ve made some friends, we&#8217;ve done a bit of good and the world knows just a little more about beer politics, vertical tastings and cellared beers than it did a few months ago.
