Stan. • Later: OK, there were 39 comments over there to the top of the fourth inning, including lots by me - but let's review Stan's five questions to see if I am still happy with the answers: • Stan: Is Alan serious? • Answer: I am serious in the singular. People talk of “the craft beer …
Belgium: Saison De Dottingnies, De Ranke, Wevelgem
Posted by on Thursday, August 25, 2011 in - 1 comment
Boak and Bailey... or was it just Boak... or Bailey... triggered a great discussion today about the meaning of saison. I recommended Farmhouse Ales by Phil Markowski and Yvan De Baets (and I just did again) for anyone interested in the topic. But it is neat to see that we may be in the third wave …
Some Beery Links For The Dog Days Of Summer

Notice there isn't much going on? I know I have. It is slow. Then I realized it's because everyone is on vacation. I am just back and, I have to admit, my brain is still in patio "yes, I will have some more" mode. I blame waiters. And waitresses. They bring you stuff you want and all they want in …
Global #IPAday! It's Global #IPAday!! Global #IPAday!!!
Posted by on Thursday, August 4, 2011 in - 7 comments
Global #IPAday. That's what it needs to be called. I don't like the implications of international #IPAday. It leaves out the stateless and those on ships at sea beyond territorial waters. And, really, isn't that what #IPAday is all about? Inclusion? Or is it exclusion? Who knows. Here are some …
Speaking of Awards - Why Does Beer Only Mean Real Ale?
Posted by on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 in - 17 comments
I don't know why I thought about this but all the "boy who cried wolf" stuff with BrewDog and CAMRA this week must have triggered it. For those who have not seen the story, I can do absolutely no better than cite the world's best beer writers, Boak and Bailey, from their recent post "Can Everyone …
#IPADay: When Good People Try Out New Good Things
Posted by on Friday, July 8, 2011 in - 8 comments
I am a bit of a dork sometimes. I saw these tweets floating around with the hashtag #IPADay and made some smart ass remarks on Twitter. Pure junior high. Or junior B, more like it. Well, some of them were not all that bad, now that I think of it: • Hugely uninterested in #IPADay. Waiting for …
Polling Canada's Beer Consumers Via Twitter
Posted by on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 in - 2 comments
I am enjoying watching the results of a Twitter-based information gathering effort under the hash tag #BeerEh. What seems to be going on is a wide-raging study into the Great White North's beer consumer mindset and it is playing out in a number of ways. For example, what might be originally … read more »
What Is The Etiquette of Beer Blog Photography?
Posted by on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 in - 19 comments
Ron has explained that he has had a run in with this man above due to the use of a camera. In his post from last Sunday, he describes the salient facts: • ...the boss came and told me I had to show him all the photos I'd taken and erase them, even the ones that were just of my beer. He … read more »
A Detailed Good-Bye Beer Blog Note Of Sorts
Posted by on Sunday, June 5, 2011 in - leave a comment
Keeping in mind that it's not only about beer, it's more than a blog and it's not quite a good-bye, the extended note from Sheryl at Taste T.O. is well worth reading. Run for yoinks with co-person Greg of the now relaunched Beer, Booze and Bites it has been by far the most ambitious personal …
Zak States Another Point Of View On CAMRA
Posted by on Saturday, June 4, 2011 in - leave a comment
Not to go on, but I missed Zak Avery's defense and explanation of CAMRA posted last Wednesday and I have to admit I find it a little (not a lot but a little) odd. Especially this bit: • I'm also amazed by so many bloggers' complete misunderstanding of what CAMRA is, and how it works. CAMRA is a …
