Review: TAPS Magazine, Winter 2008/09 Issue
Posted by on Saturday, January 3, 2009 in - 2 comments
I picked up a copy of the latest issue of TAPS magazine, a photo contest prize giver, this morning while we were out at Chapters. Well worth the $6.95 I paid and, frankly, so well worth it I thought I would write a post setting out why. This may seem an obvious motivation for a blogger on a …

Posted by on Monday, November 10, 2008 in - 4 comments
Those pals of mine at silverorange, the good folk who run the hickory fired servers upon which A Good Beer Blog runs, have come up with a new idea - a group web gallery called ClusterShot which also allows you to sell licenses for the use of your photos. I know one thing about beer bloggers. We …

There is a great article on Italian craft beer in The New York Times today by our friend and co-author around here by times, Evan Rail in which Stan makes an appearance as part of the Hieronymi's global search for great beer.

I have no idea why I think this is one of the best beer blog posts ever written but it is one of the best beer blog posts ever written.
The Hieronymi Were Here...As Were Steve and John!

So beer writers Stan and Daria and family were here getting a break from the camper on their world beer tour 2008. As it turned out, so were Steve from Beau's and John o' Church-key. Between them the lads drove 500 km to get here and as much to get home - nothing compared, however, to the … read more »
Book Review: Table Talk by A.A. Gill
Posted by on Saturday, May 17, 2008 in - 2 comments
You should know from the outset that this book is not about beer. And don't expect there to be much discussion of beer as the author explains how he was, as he puts it, a drunk: "...I would assiduously get up every morning and go to a pub, the way my grandfather went to the bank." So why do I …
More On That Beer Writing Code Of Conduct Idea

Andy has another good post up this week about the sorts of ethical standards of journalism as (what I would argue) befits that particular corner (but not the other corners) of what I consider collectively to be "beer writing." I won't copy his bit (as you can follow the link above) but I did want …

So...you guys got any good beer in there? Some Saison Dupont maybe? • Earlier today, Stonch pointed out the somewhat strained tone of this press release floating around for a beer event half a day's drive to my south in which one is promised that we may "[m]eet the luminaries of the craft beer …
The Post With My Howard The Duck References
Posted by on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 in - 2 comments
