A Great Example of A Good Review Of A Poor Beer
Posted by on Sunday, April 29, 2012 in - 13 comments
Have a look at this review over at Ding's: • Almost immediately it feels as though one is drinking a sickly sweet, sugar solution that has been infused with honey and molasses. There are very brief glimpses of a little liquor/barrel notes and even a hint of acid funk, but within fractions of a …
Two Beer Folk Lists With Two Different Purposes
Posted by on Thursday, April 26, 2012 in - 3 comments
I was scratching my head a little over two lists that floated by upon the beer-o-sphere ether this week. Jeff was mildly curious about one spammy PR list that popped into his inbox and extracted out the beer people. Ashley, on the other hand, created her own list of "very important women who have …
Pete Asks A Lot Of Good Questions This Morning
Posted by on Tuesday, April 10, 2012 in - 15 comments
An interesting item over at Pete's this morning about his creating brewing adventure in which he raises a lot of questions: • There is a degree of cynicism about beers like this in some quarters, and doubtless there will be a few outraged trainspotters either denying that a Moroccan Saison could …
Session Beer Day At My House Means Not So Much
Posted by on Saturday, April 7, 2012 in - 2 comments
Why? Because there is little good beer 4.5% and below to qualify under Lew's rule and exactly zero as far as I can tell for the more strident Law of Ding. I did make an effort and got myself to the LCBO today and picked up a couple Mill Street Organic Lager at 4.2% and two St. Peter's English Ales …

Posted by on Friday, April 6, 2012 in - 4 comments
Jordan wrote an excellent post today about the purpose of brewing and the question of beer evangelism. In large part he answered the question posed by The Session this month when he wrote: • Consider this: There are something like 1400 non-brewery affiliated beer bloggers around the world, about …
Your Monday Evening Short Beery Observations
Posted by on Monday, April 2, 2012 in - leave a comment
Some short stories to begin a short week. We Canadians mostly have a 4 day weekend coming up for Good Friday, Passover, Easter and Easter Monday. I think the last of the four is to make up for the rest. Or maybe it's the day for the non-believers thrown into the Judeo-Christian mix. Lew will be … read more »
Boak And Bailey Return From Web Server Hell

I am really lucky in the sense that I have not had a serious service interruption at this here beer blog or its more generic sister service. To be honest, for me, blogging is a habit more than anything else. I like the way I get to write about a topic I really don't know all that much about. If it …
So Many Questions About Who We Beer Fans Are
Posted by on Friday, March 23, 2012 in - 5 comments
One of the best things about Lew Bryson is that I am pretty sure he does not struggle that much with labels or categories or stuff like that. He just has an excellent understanding of the details, the effects, the process, ingredients, people and reasons. Yet we have an excellent post by Andy …
Captain Lawrence Has Found Itself A Storyteller
Posted by on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 in - leave a comment
Mike announced the news like this: • This is sort of a dream come true. I picked up a side gig writing a weekly column from a local brewery that makes the best damn beer in the U.S., and I used to say that before I was on the Captain Lawrence payroll! Perhaps the best part of it: I'm partially …

I am sure I have mentioned this before but if you are not playing with Google Analytics real time beta thingie you really are missing a huge time suck opportunity. Posting something usually requires a bit of patience and more often than not a small feeling of throwing a few pages of hand writing …
