It probably be should have been my first post but oh well, second is okay too I guess.
I am not exactly new to Steemit. First I wrote stories for a guy who, I found out later, was posting them on a website. That website turned out to be Steemit. After that I decided to write for myself and post them on my wife's account as she already had quite a following and I wanted the exposure. She writes about art and other topics and quite frequently I can say. Check her out at 
It's very exciting to witness the craft beer revolution taking place in Russia and it came just at the right time. After living in California for the last twenty years I became quite a hop head loving those IPA's, Double IPA's , Stouts and Porters. The beer scene in Moscow, and Russia in general was quite uneventful until this Hop Invasion took place. Craft Beer Bars were popping up everywhere and now even burger joints and other restaurants are trying to cash in on the Hop craze.
Together with my Russian friend we will visit new bars, revisit our favorites and organize tasting tours to micro breweries in and around Moscow and further afield. If you are in Moscow and would like to join us, let me know!
I will write about another favorite pastime of mine which is travel. I have traveled extensively and will continue to do so. I prefer to go off the beaten path, find hidden gems not yet overrun by mass tourism.
Trains are another one of my favorites and I have ridden many, visited countless museums and am constantly searching for new ones.
Hope you will enjoy my stories and maybe you will join me in one of Moscow's fine craft beer bars.
Happy Hop Hunting !!!!
