A Simple Request

Sometimes when you review the news about beer and law you are struck with how simple some of the obstacles to success are. Usually we focus on the multiple layers of taxation or the rules on where you can have a beer - my favorite repeal being the one in Nova Scotia until the 1980s that forbid you …
The Week of He'brew

OK, probably a weekend of He'Brew. But what a perfect one for it with the holidays upon us. I have to apologize for the picture, flashy and all as it is. Look at last year's single find of He'Brew 9 - that is a heck of a photo of a beer bottle. • What I like about this brewer is that, aside from …

I have never hidden my scepticism (you may even say I am a bore on this subject) to the big brewers, the lager lads, that brew most of the beers most of us consume. Well, one of the big ones is not a lager lad, you might call him the black sheep of the family. I am, of course, talking about …

Belgium: The Week of Achouffe

The stash needs an airing out. And a bit of an emptying. I organized it last night into themes - brewers, styles, that sort of thing - and see that I have some stuff to get through or I will be looking at the some of these beers in 2007. That is all fine and dandy for the big corked Belgians and …
