I received a heads up from The Wall Street Journal's designated reader of A Good Beer Blog, Carl, that the paper has posted an interesting article on US craft brewers using cans rather than or in addition to bottles. A taste test ensued and I will spoil the ending for you: • “Details are in the …

Posted by on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 in - 1 comment
Have a look at today's article in the NYT on some ales for your consideration this summer. It amazes me how many columns there are on wine but so few on beer, especially given how big we all know beer is. Check-out the interactive feature, audio with a slide-show, to the left of the Times article.

Interesting to read this this morning in my review of the Portuguese media: • “Lisbon - Portuguese gym-goers are being urged to drink beer as part of a healthy diet in a campaign launched on Wednesday by the nation's main association of producers of the alcoholic beverage. A total of 20 000 …

I bought the May 2005 issue of All About Beer, published for 25 yeas now out of North Carolina. The picture shown is of an earlier issues as the magazine's web site has not caught up to its current newstand issue. I seem to buy an issue every year or so which is a fair comment on my regard for it …

Have a look at this article in the on-line version of UK paper The Independent about a sex crime crack-down in Russia. This is the headline: Kremlin acts to stem tide of porn, beer and thong ads. The article, however, is really about the movement to address sexual morality in Moscow. Beer is … read more »

More Beer Radio

From the Homebrewer's digest comes a link to North Queensland Craftbrewers Radio Show. If I thought the USA-based Beer Radio was perhaps a little over-produced to meet the expectations of its market, this goes well the other way. I have been listening to the first show on the list and it sounds …

The other day I wrote about the US Beer Hall of Fame proposed for Cincinnati and asked for anyone who could give me an answer why this was necessary. Well I got an answer - direct from the man behind the initiative, Dennis Buettner, President of Leisure Technician LLC. His company which presents …
