A site about beer probably wouldn't need much fancy technical stuff (flash or java could be dispensed with, unless you also intend to sell). And html, well, you'd find that workable enough I venture. My wife taught herself web designing when she had to stay home after an operation.

And that's before the help you'd get, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's just about wanting to do it.

Similarly, while I don't think you'd need much capital to get started, you may find people willing to help in that respect too (say, if you need to travel to some breweries).

Well, if it did get up and running there are certain beer fests I'd love to attend. Great American for starters, any german Oktoberfest that isn't Munich's. Plus Bamberg has a spring fest in April and you know how I regard Bamberg.

But I'd try as much as possible to do that under my own steam, I'd fear being beholden to commercial interests. Like Frank suggested, it's all very well getting free samples so long a you say nice things. But honesty requires independence, which means paying your way.

The sites I read slam some of the producers who send them samples, when they don't like it.

They keep sending. Because they know that there is a reason why those sites get readership, and that's the desire for an honest point of view.
