Session 60: The 64 Ounce Jug Is Considered
Posted by on Saturday, February 4, 2012 in - 5 comments
The 64 ounce beer jug - or growler - is sufficiently interesting to the guys as Washington Beer Blog that they made it the topic of this month's edition of The Session: • These days people take growlers for granted. In my neck of the woods, growlers are a relatively new phenomenon. I don’t … read more »
Session 59: When I Don't Drink Beer I Like A Glass Of...
Posted by on Friday, January 6, 2012 in - leave a comment
I was tempted to break the streak and not get involved with the question posed this month which, as far as I can tell, boils down to "...let’s talk about what we drink when not drinking beer." Brewed For Thought asked and - after I go over the openendedness of it all - thought a bit more about it …

Posted by on Friday, December 2, 2011 in - 3 comments
It's session day again. The first Friday of every month for a whopping 58 months now beer bloggers around the world have written on the same topic. This month's edition was chosen by Beersay: • “A Christmas Carol“. The idea for me was based loosely around the visits of three ghosts to Ebenezer …

Steve Lamond has stepped up to host this month's edition of The Session and posed the following to us all under the title "Beery Confessions: Guilty Secrets/Guilty Pleasure Beer": • I'd like to know your beery guilty secrets. Did you have a particularly embarrassing first beer (in the same way …
Black Sheep Brewery And The Two Fat Ladies
Posted by on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 in - 3 comments
I have a soft spot for Yorkshire's Black Sheep Brewery as it is one of the brands imported from time to time by the LCBO for over a decade. It's dependable, tasty ale. Good to hear, then, that they are moving ahead with getting ahead: • The company is also trialling Black Sheep in a can in Tesco …
Session 56: Thanks To The Big For Being Big... Maybe
Posted by on Saturday, October 8, 2011 in - 4 comments
Irish blog Tale of Ale posed the question for this month's edition of The Session: • I decided that I wanted to do something out of character for many beer blogs on the internet. I wanted to say thank you to the large multinational brewers and show that we are not all against them. • Seems … read more »
Session 55: My Favorite Beer Label Is From Gdansk
Posted by on Friday, September 2, 2011 in - 1 comment
I still use the wallet I bought in Gdansk back in 1991. Doesn't fit Canadian dollars properly. I used it to carry the notes worth about 0.03 of a dollar, zloty, that I used to buy zapjakanky, The Warsaw Voice and piwo, piva as well as piv. At least I think that was what it was. I better check at …
Session 54: Reflecting On My Sour Beer Studies
Posted by on Saturday, August 6, 2011 in - 6 comments
I didn't like sour beer... and then I got to like most of it. It took a bit of work, a bit of a study. I have not made my peace with some but there's about 17 litres of the stuff at the core of my stash now. It waits for the right combination of enough time, enough friends and enough anti-acid …
Session 53: Beer Redemption
Posted by on Friday, July 1, 2011 in - leave a comment
I am not really sure what to make of this month's topic for The Session: • One thing about drinking a lot of beer is that occasionally you’re going to have a bad one. Perhaps it was infected or spoiled by light. Perhaps the brewer or brewery was new and still working out the kinks on a … read more »
Session 52: Breweriana Or Those Things In The Mail
Posted by on Friday, June 3, 2011 in - 2 comments
Collecting? That is what this month's edition of the Session is about: • As host of Session #52, I’ve decided not to focus on the substance of beer, but the material that plays a supporting role. Bottles, coasters, cans, labels, ads, tap handles, church keys, hats, t-shirts, tip trays, glassware …
