I Really Should Declare A Beer Drinker Of The Year
Posted by on Monday, July 18, 2011 in - 9 comments
I know it is tedious and self-serving for an organization to announce something like this but maybe it's time for there to be an annual A Good Beer Blog beer drinker of the year. Consider this announcement by the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group: • Michelin starred chef Sriram Aylur of …
Announcing The "Beer In The Shed 2011" Festival!
Posted by on Sunday, June 26, 2011 in - 2 comments
I haven't thought this out at all so bear with me. See, I read about this event in the UK called "Beer in the Boat Shed" and thought that it was actually about having a beer in a shed. Turns out that "shed" means different things in different contexts: • Over 1,000 people turned up to this …
Calling All Brewers! Send Me More Samples!!

Have I been far too shy about this? I am having a bit of a meeting of the administrative department evening here at "La Maison De La Bonne Blog Des Bieres"¹ - sending out invoices for ads, planning summer beer shopping trips - when I realized it had been a little while since I got a good slew of …
Royal Military College's Arch Ceremony 2011
Posted by on Friday, May 20, 2011 in - leave a comment
A bit of a change today as I thought you might like something local. You will recall the other week, I played old school base ball and then went for a pitcher of beer with some great guests from the USA as well as cadets from Canada's Royal Military College. The fourth year cadets organize the …
Mr Gillman On APA, SN PA, Liberty, Ballentines And Stuff

Nothing like someone else doing the heavy lifting. Me? Me, I am fine with the idea of history being murky and unclear, prone to romanticism and post hoc hero creation, frankly, being often a bit irrelevant. But not regular commentator Gary Gillman who sent me this information today to bolster the …
Time For Taxes And Those Fond Beery Memories

I am a good boy. I claim my beer writing income as a business. Every April, as the Canadian deadline closes in, I go through the receipts of the year to figure out the credits and debits. The balanced owed. It's not a huge job in the sense that it's not my real job but I put it off. It's …
Session 50: My Submission Is The Wrap Up
Posted by on Saturday, April 2, 2011 in - 6 comments
First, I apologize. This topic for this the 50th edition of The Session was all over the place. Messy even. Like mascara on prom night. Yet, it was a good exercise... at least for me. See, it allowed me to explore what we perceive we value about good beer. And, as I suspected, no one has the same …
Session 50: April Fools! I Really Meant "Let's All Talk Lager!!!"
Posted by on Thursday, March 31, 2011 in - 20 comments
No, I didn't. Didn't switch. I do want to know about you, not the globe's least interesting most pervasive food and beverage production process. And, know what? I have to stick with my original as I have an entry already that exemplifies the approach I am looking for. It's about what beer means to …
Stan Blames Me... Again... Then Lies To Everyone!!!
Posted by on Saturday, March 12, 2011 in - 12 comments
I can't believe that all I have gotten out of beer blogging is being Stan's whipping boy - but, yes, again I am to blame apparently this time for being along with him on a list posted by Jay of people supposed to write a post about seven things you don't know about them. A meme! How 2006. Jay … read more »
I Must Write Better... Must Write Much Better...

I have to admit it. Had I had more space for yesterday's headline it would have read "Thing #2597 To Not Give Rat's Ass About? Fretting About Wine Fans." It was an imprecision on my part. The whole fretting thing is the fault, not those wine fans oblivious to how some beer fans crave their passing …
