It's Pub Night has now been around for 15 years, since December of 2007.
Blogging was eventually eclipsed by social media, but in those early days there was a more symbiotic relationship between blogs and the nascent social media universe. The four big years of It's Pub Night, 2008-2011, coincided with the rise of Twitter and Facebook. Since Twitter looks like it might be tottering on the brink right now, I downloaded my personal data from there, and I'd like to share some of those early tweets with you as a way to celebrate 15 years of beer obsession.
Background
Twitter (founded 2006) was starting to catch on in 2007, and I joined in April of 2008. There were no celebrities, politicians, or likes. To "retweet", you had to cut and paste the tweet you wanted to quote, and fake retweets were an art form of their own. Tweets had to be 140 characters or less. A bunch of apps sprung up to make creative use of these short bursts of information. The only algorithm was "most recent tweet", and many a real-life friendship began on Twitter.
At some point Twitter realized there was no money in friendship or other peoples' apps, so they made it harder and harder to develop and maintain apps, and the platform was re-engineered to use your emotions to make money for other people. Looking at my old tweets, it's amazing to see how many Portland friends -- some good friends -- I first met online. That is largely gone now. I can't remember how many years it has been since that happened, and I suspect it is the same for all of you.
Let me also strike a blow for forward chronological order! It is something that has been destroyed by blogs, social media, smartphones, etc., and I think it is damaging everyone's brains to read everything in reverse order hundreds of times a day. Do not adjust your browser: these tweets go from oldest to newest. The times are Oregon time, even if tweeted from somewhere else. Click on the time to see the tweet in Twitter.
April - October 2008: Is this thing on?
I didn't understand Twitter at first. I thought I might only use it as a digital diary, for instance to remember when I got a particular bruise. My first 6 months, I only tweeted 12 times:

Isn't that cool? Here we are 14 years later, and Black Angels are on the radio with new stuff right now. My pub night friend Wade was working the soundboard; he never gave me the bootleg I wanted from that show.
December 2008 - January 2009: Friends!
That snowy December, I was surprised to get a tweet reply from Ezra, who was just an acquaintance then, but soon enough became a close friend. Twitter doesn't link to his reply, you have to take my word for it. The light bulb came on over my head, and I started to understand how to use Twitter to communicate with other beer-blogging kinds of people, Twitter-savvy businesses, and old college friends.
In these tweets, @TheBeerax is Jeff Alworth, who you now know as Mr. @Beervana. I started to announce blog posts, and I had various other schemes for connecting It's Pub Night with Twitter. The weird numbers like "|1133" on some of the tweets are location IDs on beermapping.com. Click them! (There are about 70 tweets for these two months -- scroll past them for a discussion of 2009 and the remaining 750 tweets of that year.)

February - December 2009: The Golden Era Begins
To be sure, there were excellent things on It's Pub Night in pre-Twitter 2008: the Sample Tray Stunt, the first complaint about dried "fresh" hops, auctioning an empty Abyss bottle, and other adventures. But the 2009 tweets bear witness to the beginning of a golden era. March: Beer Review Generator. June: Six-Pack Equivalent Calculator. September: Portland Beer Price Index (RIP). I'm really proud of the truly unique content I provided in those days. It's still available to you, decades later.

Monday September 14, 2009 11:55 AMEnough with the leafblowers! Idiotic invention... should be outlawed.
Wednesday September 16, 2009 09:30 AMSorry sign-artist dude, the "Sing/Dance" sign at the east end of Hawthorne Bridge is an eyesore, not a work of art.
Wednesday September 16, 2009 12:07 PM@bridgeportbrew I'll be there with bells on. Are you going to have previous years' Hop Harvest, like last year?
Wednesday September 16, 2009 05:38 PM@Dantenatas @SamuraiArtist @AGSHender I'll be slightly late also...
Wednesday September 16, 2009 07:08 PMBridgeport Hop Harvest very good this year. Comparable to Lupulin. http://bmap.us/222
Wednesday September 16, 2009 08:18 PMWhoa, power out at Rogue. Wet hop so-so. http://bmap.us/2158
Wednesday September 16, 2009 08:31 PMMike set us up with crazy fresh hops @deschutesbrewing: cask FH Hop Henge, cask FH Mirror Pond, and Hop Trip. http://bmap.us/7335
Wednesday September 16, 2009 09:36 PMNo fresh hops yet at New Old Lompoc http://bmap.us/905
Thursday September 17, 2009 07:22 AM@Dantenatas @SamuraiArtist Yep, @deschutesbeer fresh hop ales were the tops. I liked @bridgeportbrew's Hop Harvest more than Rogue's.

Wednesday September 23, 2009 06:12 PM.@Dantenatas There are no breweries in Wilsonville. Therefore it cannot be heaven.
Wednesday September 23, 2009 07:53 PM@AGSHender Ask if they have the fresh-hopped Hop Henge. It's awesome, but was off earlier this week.

Sunday November 22, 2009 03:15 PMHey Austin beer tweeps, suggest me one or two bottles I should ask visitors to bring me next week. Stuff that I can't get in Portland.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:44 AM@texpatriate You don't understand how pitiful it is to be a beer geek. F4 isn't geeky enough - it is tasty, though.
Monday November 23, 2009 10:49 AM@biergut DR9 is a good idea. I was just at a party with homebrewed pumpkin imperial stout.
Monday November 23, 2009 12:08 PM@msubulldog25 Good suggestions. So I've got 1 Austin reply, 1 Norway, and 1 Portland.

Monday November 23, 2009 07:33 PM@ruinationpress No, some friends from Austin are visiting me next week. I'll ask for a bottle or two of must-have TX beer. Maybe DR9?

Tuesday December 08, 2009 11:13 AM@beerinator Can you fix the map location for 10476 (@UprightBrewing)? You have the correct address, but wrong place on the map.

Tuesday December 08, 2009 12:27 PM@SamuraiArtist Oops, thanks. That's a good deal.
Tuesday December 08, 2009 01:03 PM@beerinator Thanks!
Tuesday December 08, 2009 03:09 PM.@SamuraiArtist I hope that means that Roots Epic will be in 7-ounce bottles also.
Tuesday December 08, 2009 07:36 PMSt. Arnolds DR9 is interesting... Not a knockout at first. Grows on you. Boozy!
Thursday December 10, 2009 07:30 AM@Slainte_Mhaith If any tweet deserved an #ontappdx, your "drinking La Chouffe at Freddy's" does. Nice find.
Thursday December 10, 2009 10:11 AM@BeerGeekAmy @Slainte_Mhaith I got confused... I was thinking of one of the area dives like Scooters. Not grocery... duh.

Sunday December 13, 2009 09:50 PM@SamuraiArtist Blog commenter said @UprightBrewing growlers are $10 to fill, not $6 as I wrote - he's confused, right? $4 jug + $6 fill?
Sunday December 13, 2009 10:40 PM@SamuraiArtist This tweet is part of what confused me: http://bit.ly/8lKRAt. Oh well. How much for the jug itself?

Wednesday December 16, 2009 09:48 AMAfter ignoring it for years, I find myself checking the stock market regularly again. This probably means it's time for you to sell.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 09:54 AM@mdolemite Maybe you're just one of those "Sell in May" guys.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 10:38 AM@gdocer It's true, but to get by in society, you have to play some of the games. You can't invest _all_ your $ in beer ;-)
Wednesday December 16, 2009 05:32 PM@bookhart That's awesome! Do you get to drive past salads, macaroni, roast beef, pie, and choose what you want?
Thursday December 17, 2009 01:58 PMAnyone know the current retail price of @RogueAles ceramic bottles of XX? Are those 1 liter or 750 ml?
Thursday December 17, 2009 02:08 PM@SamuraiArtist Yeah, XS. I want to capture the current SPE to compare against the 7 oz. bottles they're switching to. Exact $ appreciated!
Thursday December 17, 2009 02:32 PM@SamuraiArtist Thanks. I don't think the 7-ouncers are out yet. Small is beautiful; just want to watch price trends.
Thursday December 17, 2009 02:33 PM@gdocer @RogueAles Thanks for the info!
Thursday December 17, 2009 03:26 PM@gdocer You must have liked Perot's idea to put a 50-cent/gallon tax on gasoline (back when it cost about $1/gallon)? I know I did.
