Tags: [edit]

Man, it’s been hotter than two rats fornicating in a wool sock. At least, that’s what a buddy of mine would say on days like this past weekend when the temperatures were in the high 90’s and humid as all get out. He has a way with words. Now, even on days like that I can [...]

Drunker Than Satan
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

There are two things that I usually try not to do in life. The first is listen to country music. The second, with a single exception, is post solicitations for promotion on this site. Well, folks, today we witness the simultaneous breaking of both those rules. This is both the best country song and accompanying music [...]

Unibroue La Terrible (2007)
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Last week I mentioned that I was going to take a day off to celebrate the ole birthday and enjoy one of a few beers I have had waiting. I listed the beers and asked for your recommendation on which on to drink for the occasion. Well, both of you who replied, suggested that I [...]

Samuel Adams, Biggest American Brewer

With the completion of the Anheuser-Busch/InBev merger, it would appear that Boston Beer Company would then become the largest American brewery.

Well, it’s official (aside from regulatory and shareholder approval). InBev will be absorbing Anheuser-Busch for $52 Billion.

Age + 1
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Another year has gone by and another birthday arrives. It’s been a good year. I’ve had some tasty brews, spent quality, memorable time with the family, fallen off my mountain bike numerous times (usually trying to so something stupid to impress the kid) and have had a great year all around. That means it’s time to [...]

Heineken Saves Lives
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

I’m not sure if this is sheer brilliance or a little disturbing. Or both. I will admit that after a brief “Holy shit. They didn’t just do that.” moment, I had to watch it again. And laughed hysterically. Thoughts?

For August, the theme is “Happy Anniversary”. Use this as an excuse to celebrate. Open a limited release anniversary beer from your favorite brewer. Enjoy that [...]

Samuel Jackson
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

I know this is from an older Chappelle Show episode, but I just recently ran across it for the 23rd time and it still cracks me the hell up. Besides, what better way to nurse a 4th of July hangover than Samuel L. Jackson yelling through your computer speakers. Man, that’s some funny *bleep*

Session 17: Anti-Seasonal Beer
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

It’s July 4th. Not only is it the U.S.’ Independence Day, but it’s also Session #17. This time around we’ve been tasked with enjoying a brew that is typically not enjoyed during the Summer season. Of course, for me, that means only one thing. It’s stout time. And, well, I couldn’t just get any old stout. So, [...]

Mr Asahi: The Robotic Bartender

Tags: [edit]

So an Asahi branded robot has been debuted in a London department store. It only serves one beer (Asahi Beer.) in both bottle or draft. And, well, see for your self. Uh… Yeah… I’m not sure if I should be afraid of this thing or thrilled at the prospect of not having to tip someone after [...]

MillerCoors Logo
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

This one is more for the design geeks out there, but I finally just saw the MillerCoors logo by Pentagram a few moments ago. Normally, I really dig what comes out of that shop, but this mark for MillerCoors is about as weak as their beer.

Beer Budget Survey Results
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

It’s been a week since I posted the survey regarding monthly beer budget. Thanks to all of you who participated. While my own budget lay toward the higher end of spending, there were a few more of you that out spent me (phew). For those of you interested here’s a chart of the data: Based on [...]

Stonch’s Competition
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Look’s like Stonch is continuing his annual competition that started off with last year’s photo contest. Details will be coming in the next couple of days, but the prize (”…a case containing two dozen British, Belgian and international bottled beers.”) sounds pretty damned good to me. I’m not sure if he’d ship outside of the [...]

Tags: [edit]

I have this small sketchbook that I carry around with me and I’m constantly doodling in it — stuck in traffic, in a meeting at the office or at home. It’s usually full of concepts for work, but is also peppered with beer related miscellany. Flipping through it the other day, I came across a [...]

Jay Brooks over at Brookston’s Beer Bulletin has a nice write up of the latest happens with the A-B vs InBev saga. It looks as though InBev is ready to start throwing some haymakers.

Beer Lovers Make Room for Brews Worth a Wait Thanks to the dogs, construction of our own cellaring cave has commenced and at the current rate at which they are clearing away the earth, I should have a suitable cave by the time the kid graduates college (she’s currently 3… and a half).

So, those of you who are regular visitors to the site may notice a little something different with how it looks. While the new look isn’t quite a full redesign, consider it a refreshing of sorts — slight changes here and there to make for a better reading experience. Overall, the goal of this second [...]

Just a quick note to let those of few of you on the site tonight that there may be some wackiness going on as I upgrade the Wordpress install for this The Barley Blog — all in preparation of launching the redesign in the next day or so. Thanks. Update Well… that was easy. The site [...]

Beer Budget Blues
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

With the economy seemingly getting worse by the day and beer prices on the rise, I’ve been forced to reevaluate where my hard earned cash goes. In the past year or so, I’ve been spending on average $150 a month on beer — for immediate consumption and storing in the basement. It’s never been a problem [...]

Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

I haven’t been able to get a hold of Sierra Nevada’s Harvest Ale in my area, so when I saw this 1st release of their Southern Hemisphere version of the brew I jumped on the remaining bottles my local candy shop had. Apparently the hops in this latest beer are harvested in New Zealand and [...]

The guys over at Pfiff! have just announced the theme for next month’s Session. And much like my own heart that a stout can be enjoyed year round, they suggest Going Against the Grain Bill: Solstice Edition — enjoying a beer out of season.

Brewery Search Redesign
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

It’s been quite some time since I’ve mentioned Brewery Search — my little beer finder project that I launched at the end of last year. I think part of the reason for the silence is that I was burnt from all the data entry, but hopefully that’s about to end. In an effort to re-energize my [...]

InBev Makes it Official
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

As of June 11, Anheuser-Busch has officially received an offer from InBev for buy out at $65 per share in cash. CNBC is reporting that A-B is weighing it’s options and “…any talks with Belgian brewer InBev should be based on shareholder value rather than the Busch family’s legacy…” Sounds to me as though some [...]

Arcadia Ales IPA

Tags: [edit]

Arcadia Ales is one of the latest additions to the shelves at one of my local shops. So for the only beer available from them is the IPA. The shop owner, who specializes in wine more than he does beer, told me that he had just had a bottle of it the previous night and [...]

It’s time for the Session — that monthly event when beer bloggers share their experiences or thoughts on a selected topic. This month is all about beer festivals. However, I’m not the festival going type of person. Never have been, but I am looking forward to reading about everyone else’s experiences. So, I’ll be keeping my [...]

I’m not sure how many of you all are up on the whole Web 2.0 social silliness that abounds at the moment, but Twitter is one of those sites that has garnered a good deal of attention these days. Well, needless to say, working in the Internet industry, I’ve been meaning to play around with [...]

Messin’ With Sasquatch
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

I’ve always wanted to use “Sasquatch” in a title on this site and have been a big fan of the Jack Link’s “Messin’ With…” series of commercials. Well I can finally post one of their commercials here and get away with mentioning Bigfoot since this advertisement uses beer to prank the big fellow. Also, let this [...]

Mad Squirrel Disease

Tags: [edit]

This past weekend I decided to finally get a bit more organized with the beers that I have been hiding away in the basement. I rearranged them, grouping them into different segments and adding them to a small spreadsheet for easier tracking and what not. After compiling the data I had on the beers (brewer, [...]

Fraoch Heather Ale
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Billed as an Ancient Herbed Ale or Scottish Gruit, the Fraoch Heather Ale is not only a new beer to me, but an entirely new style of beer that I don’t believe I’ve had before. A quick scan of BeerAdvocate’s database confirmed that fact. It also let me know that this style of brew “…has [...]

Molson Coors Donates Ethanol to DNC
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Apparently, Molson Coors will be donating their beer (waste) to the Democratic National Convention to power the fleet of flex-fuel cars used for the event. I think they’d be better of simply donating their beer.

Blue Dog Wild Blue Lager
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

I wasn’t planning on posting a review for this beer since I had disturbingly mixed feelings about it, but then I saw that the guys at SevenPack Beer Blog were brave enough to post their own take on the brew — so here we are. For once, I actually knew going into this one that [...]

Gouden Carolus Classic
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

Brouwerij Het Anker makes some of my favorite beers. In fact, I’ll state right now that I think they make the finest Belgian tripel, hands down. I don’t think I’ve had a beer of theirs that I could complain about. And that statement can continue after tasting the Classic, a Strong Dark Ale. When I purchased [...]

Stone Imperial Russian Stout
» ‎ Barley Blog, The

Tags: [edit]

After first hearing about this one last year, I’ve been on a constant look out for it. For nearly two years I’ve toiled, fought and searched for this elusive beer. I’ve… oh, who am I kidding? After not being able to find Stone’s Imperial Russian Stout, one of my local shops all of a sudden [...]

Summer Poll

I’m trying out this new Google Documents spreadsheet poll feature, so I figured what better way to see what it can do than find out what everyone’s favorite summer brew is. It could be a style, a specific brand or one of your own concoctions. Once I get some decent results I’ll share them with [...]
