Posted by on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 in - 4 comments
Let's be honest. The stash is an extension of one's own day dreams and we know that such dreams can vary. Sure, there are the questions of reasonable budget and reasonable storage but there is the need to have balance. At this point in the winter, for example, I am a little light on hop bomb IPAs …

Sure, I nominated myself - but I didn't do the judging so it is with some sense of residual self respect that I learned today that I got voted Best Beer Blog for Canada 2010 as part of the Canadian Food Blog Awards.

Posted by on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 in - 8 comments
People need to hold out for a bit more: • Apparently the marketing folks at Miller encountered some semblance of self-awareness. They shunned the major sports sponsorship – Bud Light already holds the NBA and MLB official sponsorship, and will inherit the NFL's next year – to cast their …

What to do? What to do? Every half-year or so I wonder what the heck it is I am doing writing on this thing every day in one way or another. Greg Clow got me thinking this morning as he posts about going to a whisk(e)y session at what he describes as "a cocktail consulting firm here in Toronto …

I did it. Finally. After the entries are in, after the judging and the awards, after the indulgence of the season, after the travel, after the laying around doing nothing layered in tinsel, after going back to work and looking out the window and asking myself what the heck all that was about … read more »

It's been a good year at A Good Beer Blog - and a good decade while we are at it. As this is the last day that has a claim to being the end of the first ten of the millennium, we could reflect on where good beer was at the dawn of this new era and where it is now.

This is the day we award the championship. The top example of 2010's supreme master class in beer photography. And all in Santa's name. And the Yule log. I was going to play this out but I understand I have to get a tree, buy a family's worth of presents, locate the frozen joints of half a dozen …

While the 2010 photo contest results churn on a vast array of reel to reel servers that fill the basement, I have time to think of other things. Like the meaning of that line up there. Apparently, right before Christmas, there is a big bump in interest in beers of the month clubs. Having written a …
