Just as I find it a wee bit boring to praise every statistical interpretation that marks craft beer's march from 5% to 5.87% of the US beer market, so too does this sort of story sound a lot like the story I have read more than a few times before: • It has been a popular tipple for centuries … read more »
A Monday In The Life Of Beer Around The World

As you know, some days when ideas for a post about beer seem slim, I troll through Google News looking for something. Today, there was nothing popping out until I realized I was looking at the whole of it, a snapshot of all the things beer means in different cultures. How it gets the attention of …
Beer Puddles! Who Doesn't Like Beer Puddles??

...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?

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 »
What's In The Beer News This Sunday Night?

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 …
