...or the cottage or the house or maybe that savings account: • A beer mat enthusiast who spent a lifetime tracking down some of the world’s rarest mats has left his extraordinary collection to a close friend. Ian Calvert died two weeks ago aged just 48 after battling with Parkinson’s for seven …
It Takes An Empire to Make A Measurement Of Beer
Posted by on Monday, September 28, 2009 in - leave a comment
As I thought back about a year ago, I am happy enough to see that the government in the UK is allowing a new 2/3s pint - if only because more choice is better, right? But it is a little odd that the matter of a reasonable pour of a walloping brew is a matter for government intervention. For …
Swag-a-palooza '09: Pick Your Own Beer Contest Rules!
Posted by on Saturday, May 30, 2009 in - 4 comments
I am too lazy these days. Once, as an aspiring beer blogger, I would think up themes for contests on the slightest whim, pound the gift sources mercilessly and then pass it all on to you, the actual beer drinking public. Now, I wait by the door for cheques and love letters that never come, think …
Beerware And S'hopping Alescessories
Posted by on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 in - 1 comment
Punnery! I can't say that I like punning much but I have been driven to it by this great beerware opportunity that I learned about today from Troy and Stephen. Best of all, it is entirely crap... or rather CRAP: aka "Craftbrewers Recycled Art Project." It is great that George Eagleson, head brewer …
The Question Of Brewiania...And T-shirts
Posted by on Saturday, January 31, 2009 in - 2 comments
You will see to the left that we have another kind sponsor, the makers of a line of t-shirts called "Drink Beer and Carry On". I am a sucker for that particular 1940s British font and I also think the message is the right one for the times - sooner or later we have to realize that the funk is a …
Does Beer Glass Size Really Matter?
Posted by on Sunday, October 26, 2008 in - 9 comments
Years ago in Stirling Scotland I likely got my only true pint of beer. The fluid crested over the glass holding it through the miracle of surface tension and the bartender told me to lean over and take a first draw off the top to avoid losing too much. That was a fine pint. Every other of the …
Will I Drop By A Brewerianists Convention?
Posted by on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 in - 2 comments
I always wonder about this sort of thing but I may have to go this time if I have good manners. It appears my city will soon host the national celebration of beer stuff, according to our local Whig-Standard: • The Limestone Brewerianist Club - the name means a collector of beer bottles or …
Place Your Photo Captions Here: That Man In The Basement
Posted by on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 in - 12 comments
Some days are just slow for beer news but this photo caught my eye. What dramatic perspective...and a natty choice of slippers. A classic from the school of "nutty old guy in basement" art. Whippersnapper irony? Bah! To me, he's a sort of hero - but what would the caption be? Here are my best …

“Please note: the maker of the kit has joined in the conversation and clarified that there is more provided with the purchased package than the sample provided. With that extra material in the purchase this is more that a testing kit which could very well make it a far better value than these …
Review: Beer Pong Tables
Posted by on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 in - 9 comments
This is another review for the people at ReviewMe who provide enough for a good 24 or more of craft ale in return for me turning my mind to the products of their clients. Past reviews have been about websites for the most part but this one is different - it is a website selling portable beer pong …
