Session 38: Cult Beer Is So Cultish I Missed The Point
Posted by on Saturday, April 3, 2010 in - 1 comment
Missed it entirely. The loss of RSBS continues to resonate as I missed the usual number of lead up warnings and notices about this month's edition of the Session hosted at Beer Search Party. I caught Jay's submission and that was it. Our host, Sean Inman, explained his purpose in this way: • One …
This Is The 2,000th Good Beer Blog Post
Posted by on Thursday, April 1, 2010 in - 11 comments
I just noticed this milestone after post number 1,997 ticked by and wanted to make mention. Even though there are posts back to May 2003, the stand alone beer blog was born with this post on Saturday, 23 October 2004. Three days later I was posting a list of a handful of other beer websites that I …
You Don't Have Permission To Access /beerfeeds2/
Posted by on Thursday, March 25, 2010 in - 4 comments
I had no idea how dependent I had gotten to be on the Really Simple BEER Syndication or RSBS service from the good people over at www.beerinator.com. Until it went away. I haven't emailed Jonathan Surratt to ask why it is no longer accessible as I can imagine it is the time and the cost and life …
Do Writers Have A Disproportionate Influence On Beer?
Posted by on Monday, March 22, 2010 in - 10 comments
Stan has a very interesting post and comments going all under the title "Does Anybody Read Beer Blogs?" For me, the same can be said about beer books, beer magazines, beer trade papers, beer web forums and beer social networks. Who the hell reads this stuff? And I don't think the medium in which …
Book Review: Brewing With Wheat By Stan Hieronymus
Posted by on Monday, March 15, 2010 in - 3 comments
I got my review copy of Stan's new book in the mail today. Stan is so clever he already has the book's own website up. I have a disclaimer. I like Stan. Sometimes we send giggly emails to each other. Disclosure over. • Stan researched the book on his family's global trip that passed through my …
Session 37: Let's Bust Open The Stash.... Maybe....
Posted by on Friday, March 5, 2010 in - 3 comments
Stash. It's one of the best words in the entire beery lexicon. I like it so much a picture of mine serves as the background of my Twitter page. No, not page... presence. It really is a Twitter presence. And, you know, it is a thing of comfort and joy, the stash. I wrote a post about my stash in …

An interesting use of panoramic digital photography... if a neat and tidy basement full of beer cans is your thing. Spot the Old Scotia can, a short lived Nova Scotian favorite. Spot the thrilled patient spouse.
Are There Too Many Questions About What's Too Many?
Posted by on Thursday, January 21, 2010 in - 4 comments
Lots of talk around these days. Pete has posted his series on the media and stories about representing alcohol use in the UK. Jay has had a mirroring series that has been a theem for sometime. I am still not fully satisfied because, while Pete and Jay each have honestly shared past experience … read more »
Is Canada The Nation Best Built For Beer?
Posted by on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 in - 18 comments
I am having a nice glass of beer. Belgian beer as it turns out. I was trying to read Pete Brown's series on "Answering the Neo Prohibitionists" but I am reflecting on how nice it is to live in a country where there really isn't any organized political outcry against beer as in the UK or any shock …
Doctor Who Regenerates Just As Stonch's Blog Ends
Posted by on Sunday, January 3, 2010 in - 4 comments
Co-incidence? Just a fluke that the same holiday weekend sees Jeff close down Stonch's beer blog and the tenth Doctor making his exit? I was going to photoshop a Dalek in replacing the keg above but that would be a little too much effort on my part. • Jeff, first as "Stonch" and then as himself …
