Reader and prize-winner Chad forwarded me some pictures from a visit to F.X. Matt in Utica to check out the place and give the brewery some support after their near calamitous fire in late May. I like this one the best. The brewery was called the West End Brewing Company in 1888 and appears to be …

Have I mentioned I really dislike the idea of following your passion? It's so much based on the immediate and the result. "Follow your passion" is what people are told to entice them into entry position IT jobs that never pan out or pull out the credit card to act on the next spontaneous urge. And …

Two Companies = 80% Market Share

I have to admit that I care not a whit for the impending kerglomeration of much of the macro-tastic brewing power of the United States of America into the tentacles of two international macro-economic monoliths. It's so surreal that it's a bit like when two evil forces (say, Doctor Doom and the …

Spending the day with the kids at the Toronto Zoo on a field trip, I thought on the way back I would pop into County Durham Brewing in Pickering just to grab a few brew and have a chat with brewer, Bruce Halstead.

Lew mentioned the fire last year. Olde Towne Brewing in Huntsville, Alabama had burned down. I probably thought about this for about five seconds back then but, what with events at Utica lately, I noticed this bit of good news right away: • “Less than a year after watching his business destroyed …

...because I can't get on base! • Who knew that there was Busters Brew Pub and Microbrewery on the US army base at Fort Drum in upstate NY? Not me. But there they were making an impression as they were pouring beer at the first Sackets Harbor 1812 Beer and Wine Festival as reported in the …
