Chico Estate Joins Sierra Nevada’s Harvest Ale Series

Tags: [edit]

There’s something about food made with local ingredients. If you’ve ever seen an episode of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares (on BBC America, much better than U.S. version!), you know what advice he seems to give almost every under-performing restaurant. Other than telling them not to serve raw food which might kill the few customers they [...]

Tags: [edit]

I’ve had a couple people say to me that I should bottle and sell some of the homebrewed beer I’ve mixed up over the past couple years. And, while hearing that always makes me smile from ear to ear, there’s always the little things to think about: licensing, production, marketing, distribution, financials… yikes… I’m fine [...]

This Bud’s for EU
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I haven’t written much about Belgium-based InBev’s efforts to buy Anheuser-Busch over the past couple of weeks because it involved staggering numbers that made my head spin ($52,000,000,000?), was being talked about in every major newspaper and, quite frankly, I didn’t think it’d actually happen. I mean, what drinks are more American than Budweiser? You’ve [...]

Invest in a Brewery for Only $50?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

$50 in 2008 doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to. Hell, I can’t even fill up my Jeep Liberty for fifty bucks, but apparently I can become part-owner of a new brewing company. That’s the plan for BeerBankroll.com, which my friend James sent my way the other day. They’re looking to combine “crowd funding” [...]

Sure, it may cost you $25 to check that second bag the next time you fly Delta, but at least $6 for a Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat won’t seem so bad then! Yes, you hear that correctly, Delta will soon be serving up craft beer for passengers on all flights worldwide. It’s one of four beers [...]

There are certain things you expect at a wedding reception: the requisite bride & groom, a cake of some kind, scallops wrapped in bacon, the “Electric Slide” and usally a decent open bar that has good drinks, but nothing you’re too excited about. Yeah, that’s about how I expected things to work out at my [...]

There are certain things you expect at a Jimmy Buffett tailgate: limey beer, margaritas, tiki bars, men wearing coconut bikini tops, you know the deal. But, a bottle of great craft beer at a Buffett tailgate? No way! Surprises come in all shapes and sizes. This time, it was a one-pint six-ounce bottle of Stone Imperial [...]

Miller Lite Brewers Collection Test Marketing Extended

Tags: [edit]

Back in April, Miller Lite announced that they’d be rolling out their new “Brewers Collection” nationwide by September. While I do have some misgivings about the idea of buying a beer from a megabrewer that’s seemingly being marketed purely to ride the coattails of the growing popularity of actual craft beer, I was actually looking [...]

No, my friends. That is most certainly not a typo. News.Com.Au is reporting that Fosters is rolling out a new “luxury” brew known as Crown Ambassador Reserve. The lager marks the 55th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation and is a limited release of only 5,000 champagne-style bottles. The launch emulates a similar move in 1954, when [...]

It’s a scary moment we’ve all faced. You dig deep into the fridge looking for a tasty beverage when you discover a beer that’s been sitting there since… hmm… since, when?

Anheuser-Busch to Introduce Budweiser American Ale

I’m not a big fan of Bud. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll gladly drink a bottle if I’m at a barbeque and my choices are Bud, Bud Light and Bud. I’d just prefer not to when there are so many more beers out there that I find much more interesting. Apparently, I’m not alone in my [...]

When Did Every Day Become Cinco de Lime-o?

Did I miss the memo about limes being the new “thing” for beer? I mean, for years and years, the only beer I associated with limes was Corona. And, I was (and still am) ok with that because there’s something about the act of slicing up an actual lime, dropping it in the bottle and [...]

There’s something about lists that just feels right. Maybe it’s how they bring order to a chaotic world? Maybe it’s because everyone likes a winner?
