The same can be said for the type of cuisine that can be had in suburbia - the finest dining around wasn’t really that fine. So after working in a decent restaurant s for years, and developing a palette for good beer, I’ve turned into somewhat of a snob. 
Just got word that the Boston Beer Co., makers of the Sam Adams line of beers, is lending a hand to craft brewers by 
As with many new hobbies there will be an initial start-up cost if you want to make a good attempt at making your own special brew. But luck for you the necessary materials needed can cost you as low as $40-$50. This is assuming you go out an buy a starter kit or the accoutrement’s individually. You could of coarse take a large glass carboy or a cleaned and sanitized 5 gallon pickle bucket and with some some elbow grease and a handyman attitude, you’ve got yourself a couple of fermenters.
When it was determined that the New England Patriots would be playing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, Harpoon president Dan Kenary dialed up his friend Steve Hindy, president of Brooklyn Brewery, and arranged a wager. The wager: if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, Brooklyn will pour a keg of Harpoon IPA in their tap room and if the Giants win, a keg of Brooklyn Lager will be tapped in Harpoon’s Boston tap room.
Founded in 1986, the Harpoon Brewery distributes its locally brewed products throughout the Northeast. Harpoon’s line of craft beer features six year-round beers, and four special seasonal selections.

Award-Winning Long Island Microbrewer, Blue Point Brewing Company, will host the 4th annual BLUE POINT CASK ALE FESTIVAL on Saturday, January 26th, 2008 where it will tap the world’s largest cask filled with their custom, featured brew, Rye Hop Knot. The event is open to the public and record numbers are expected. 
“Garde Dog” Biere de Garde is unfiltered with a hazy, deep golden to light copper appearance. Brewed with domestically grown French Hops and German Pilsner Malts, it gives craft beer drinkers a very enjoyable, light-bodied, subtlety sweet beer with toasty malt undertones. Garde Dog is the perfect compleiment to lighter fare such as seafood, salads, cheese and Middle Eastern and Indian foods.
“Cerberus” Tripel is a bottle-conditioned strong Belgian Ale with slightly hazy appearance and mousse-like head. Brewing with Golding and Saaz hops and Pilsner and Aromatic malts yields a medium body and champagne-like carbonation. Cerberus pairs perfectly with turkey and other poultry, creamy cheeses, fruit pastries, desserts and crème brulee.
Although we missed it last year, the crew over here at CFWAY is anticipating this year’s Philadelphia Brew Fest! Tickets are on sale now. Here’s the details:
Gotta give a shout out to our reader Matt for forwarding this awesome news story. Seems that somebody in Dublin (go figure) 
It’s been a long long time since my last post — things have been super hectic for me and my schedule’s been really erratic — but I’ve found the time to talk about a topic that really urks me. You guessed it: big market beers and their endless budgets that are used to brainwash America (the title of this post should have given it away).
