A Big Victory for Ron's
» ‎ Brew Lounge : Beer Tasting Brewing and Culture, The

Tags: [edit]

If I'm not mistaken, this may be Ron's Original's (Exton, PA) most star-studded beer event since re-opening a couple of months ago. Sales rep extraordinaire Tracy from Victory Brewing will be there pouring some wonderful brews. She'll also bring along glassware and prizes. It's where I'd be if I wasn't Down the Shore. So, I'm counting on all of you to not leave any for me when I get home.

Here are some pictures of the always well-stocked Whole Foods on Houston in NYC. From the front door to the beer store, this location on Houston (betw. Bowery & 2nd) feels to me like one of the largest and best inventories of all that I've been. A walk-in cheese cave, a beer store, what else do you need?! Growler station fillups were available from Brooklyn, Dogfish, Sly Fox, Defiant, and

Any excuse would be poor; I've known about 7/18 being tagged International Brewers Day by Jay Brooks since he announced it almost 2 months ago. But, I let it go...didn't even put up a banner for it until this week. Now, I'll attempt to make up for my tardiness. This is a worthy way of recognizing brewers and the work that they do. So, to participate, I put together a list format of typical

Don't worry, the business is doing just fine. Though Chris is more than happy to accommodate as many of you that want to stop by as possible.

I was planning to post a simple link to Russian River's site announcing their latest news. Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig in bottles is something that fans of these beers have hoped and waited for a quite some time.

Sorry, I resisted playing word games with names for the proposed merger until now. Must be the casual Friday getting to me. "Friendly" bi-lateral talks are being conducted.

Had to say I did a double-take while cruising the beer coolers at Central Market in Dallas, north of downtown. Just off the Lovers Lane exit of the North Central Expressway sits a large market that reminds me of a cross between a Trader Joe's, a Whole Foods, and a Wegmans. Come to think of it, after spending only 20 minutes or so at Central Market, Whole Foods a few miles away was my next stop.

I'm not usually in the business of tagging the "best" and the "worst" that the craft beer world has to offer. Just passin' along the information, some insight, and perhaps an opinion here and there. It just so happens that in this case, I find a very compelling case that is difficult to argue. Any arguments will become even quieter, I predict, once the smoking ban goes permanently into effect.
