It's like he read my mind...or perhaps my blog post. Once again, Stan has done a bit of the lifting and provided a bit of background on the news of the release of some of Boston Beer's hop allocation. I mentioned that I had no idea what percentage of their total hops ordered this giveaway of …
My Deep And Witty Analysis Of The Big Hop Giveaway!
Posted by on Saturday, February 16, 2008 in - 2 comments
My computer ate it. It was a virtual unified theory of beer blogging, an apology draped in an accusation resting on a question with its feet up on satisfaction. Brilliant. Gone. In sum: I didn't like their variety packs, the special glass, Utopia, the '90's triple bock or their white-like thing …

This past weekend I was in Colorado on a ski trip with a friend from college. I got in Thursday night to Denver and early Friday morning we found out that all the passes into the mountains were closed because of severe winds. Lost about what to do next, we decided to take a drive out to Fort …

Paul Considers The State Of Stella Artois
Posted by on Thursday, January 24, 2008 in - leave a comment
According to The Publican, that venerable journal of the UK licensed trade, InBev are crying into their beer over the Young’s Pub Company delisting of Stella Artois from their 200+ strong pub chain. I'm not a lager drinker, but I welcome this one small victory against the brewing giant of the …

In interesting story but a great series of photos going along with the tale posted on the Waldo County Citizen's webpages about the 3Tides pub and Marshall Wharf Brewery of Belfast, Maine. I love Maine and have to get there in the spring. The photographer, Tina Shute, was blessed with some great …

Cold beer is the work of the devil. Fact. • Right, now that we've established a baseline - let's move forward. When one of my local breweries, the mighty Greene King, announced that they were brewing a beer to be served with or without a head and cold, I was not too chuffed to say the least. I …

Just a quick note to say we had an hour with Ron at Jolly Pumpkin late in the afternoon yesterday which was one of the most interesting hours I have spent in my life with beer. Plenty of photos of wooden casks will follow but on that whole beer pricing thing - picking up a case of 12 750 ml … read more »
Paul Considers Shepherd Neame's Advertising
Posted by on Monday, October 8, 2007 in - 10 comments
George Orwell once said "Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." This is how I feel about the way that Shepherd Neame advertises. Shepherd Neame brews pretty good beer, but I really do find their advertising very distasteful. Distasteful to the point where, I would recommend …
