Posted by on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 in - 1 comment
...Or at least a story that happens to have "Beer Puddles as the headline: • Many of the Scuds had burst and spilled their contents and the tarmac was running with beer, sticky pools of the thick, cloudy beer forming puddles in the steep eroded cut-offs on the edge of the tar. Some of the crates …

Martyn Cornell, the Zythophile himself, posted this at Facebook. Apparently it's one of the breweries in Sendai, Japan - likely Kirin's he says - "where the earthquake knocked over four of what look like lager conditioning towers: that's foaming beer all over the bottom of the picture." I wonder …
The Most Offensive Morality Play Beer Story Ever
Posted by on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 in - 4 comments
Did I say "ever"? I suppose I did. I suppose it is because this news combines such a sense of bean counting, superiority, triviality and, frankly, sheer sadness so as to define a point which we may have reached. I quote in reasonable fullness: • ...West Linn-Wilsonville School District teachers …
Beer Cocktails: Why Am I Still Uneasy?

Is it because Canadians are jumping on board? Does that make me uneasy about an article about Canadians and beer cocktails? Canadians have this way of making any movement, you know, both earnest and bland at the same time. I worry about these things. It is tough enough dealing with messing around …

Not like I am really thinking too deeply today. The AFC championship just began after the third string Chicago quarterback made something out of a dud in the NFC game. I'd like to say that I'm sitting around having a beer but I don't really have beer on a Sunday when there's a tie and hard shoes … read more »

As the last moments of the first weekend in well over a month that hasn't included too much guilt buying or a thousand kilometre drive, I actually have time to check out the news - including some news about beer: • Don't ban all drinks over 6%. Just ban the beer over 6%. That makes sense.Cold …

I am a lazy beer blogger. An intensely lazy one. I have not yet sent out the four prize packages that I am duty bound to mail to winners in Ontario, Norway, Costa Rica and the Czech Republic. Sure there were Christmas parties needing attending and holiday travel and also a cold that won't go away …

It's a slow Monday night for beer news. Blame the World Series meeting Monday Night Football taking on the night before US mid-term elections. Nothing of great beery import out there... so what about that witchy label... no, not that one to the right, the other one. • Frankly, I really don't … read more »

Posted by on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 in - 1 comment
It is a rare day that I do not feel that I am a little too negative. I should, frankly, find more reason to cheer up when thinking about beer. So, it was with some pleasure that I read others being crankier than me or at least turning a critical eye on good beer events and news: • Pete Brown is …

Some days the only beer news is stuff that you really don't care a bit about. Today is that sort of day. Consider these gems: • Deep fried beer.Does The New York Times implicitly diss beer blogging by picking this guy to highlight because, apparently, he has Shipyard IPA in the fridge.Princess …
