As you can imagine, news that MilCoo is moving to Chicago is about as interesting as the impending formation of In-Bud. Yawn. There must be something more interesting in beer going on:

• A group in Toronto has formed called Cask! to agitate for more of what they want. Great news...though I am not much a joiner-inner. I'd have to create a group called Couch and Backyard! to best express my inner beery voice.
• There's that guy in Australia who was dropping a grand a week on beer but that's just sad. About as sad as the Ohio county fair that seems to have a beer garden that doesn't serve beer.
• Who knew Chicago had beer riots?
• China makes 22% of the world's beer. Sounds impressive but with only 19.86% of the population, they are really international brewing slackers.
• A man was fired for selling someone of legal drinking age two beers.
• Good news from Utica as F.X. Matt must be turning things around after the fire in May with the roll out of their new Saranac Irish Ale.
