Happy Birthday From Jay To Me!

Jay was kind enough to post about my birthday today - especially after I let him know! Thanks for all your wishes and rest assured craft beer is paying a dignified and important role in the day. Best of all I suspect in about an hour a pal and a case of Allagash may come though the door to share …

Just got back from a family weekend in Ithaca, NY that included (as they all do) another visit to the ever wonderful Finger Lake Beverages. I have met a lot of helpful, knowledgeable and friendly folk in the corner of the world of beer that I have found myself in but I have to admit I think of FLB …

Hmmm...my servers sit in Canada's eastern Maritime Provinces in Charlottetown, capital of one of the the smallest jurisdictions in North America, Prince Edward Island. If you are reading this at noon on 30 January just after I post it, you may be doing so care of the good grace of batteries …

In interesting story but a great series of photos going along with the tale posted on the Waldo County Citizen's webpages about the 3Tides pub and Marshall Wharf Brewery of Belfast, Maine. I love Maine and have to get there in the spring. The photographer, Tina Shute, was blessed with some great …

Sometimes when I have a stout, I often think to myself that it's no Freeminer Deep Shaft Stout, a beer I was recently reminded of by its listing in the December BeerAdvocate - and particularly reminded of when I noticed that the magazine had used my very own photo from that 2004 post to illustrate …

A Good Beer Blog's Best Of 2007 - Part Two
Posted by on Monday, December 31, 2007 in - leave a comment
Another favorite (if not prize winning) beer picture from 2007 • New Year's Eve. Why did I think I would be able to come up with Idea of the Year and Beer of the Year on New Year's Eve. I have to make burritos and I have to amuse a ten month old and I have to watch B-grade bowl games and I also …
A Good Beer Blog's Best Of 2007 - Part One
Posted by on Sunday, December 30, 2007 in - 6 comments
How time flies when you are drinking a lot of beer. Last year in 2006 and again the year before that in 2005 I posted a "best of the year" for a number of things beery - I even asked the question for 2004 though I never seem to have answered it. So why ever would I stop using a technique that …
Beer At Yule: Knuta Claus Delivers
Posted by on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 in - 3 comments
It came in the mail more than a week ago but I was under strict orders not to open Knut's parcel. And I kept my word. • Inside the package was smart small German key chain, a bottle of Nøgne Ø Julesnadder and a very natty "Ø God Yule 2007" t-shirt. Best of all (perhaps inordinately you may think …
