boakandbailey — Using rauchbier to fake barbecue-smoked meat is a clever idea. We’ll certainly be giving this a go.
barclayperkins.blogspot — More from Southby. This time about cleaning casks. It's another topic I was asked a question about that I couldn't fully answer. If I could remember who asked me, I'd now be in a position to reply. Maybe they'll read this. Or maybe not. It's not the most fascinating subject...

hedonistbeerjive.blogspot — I wasn’t yet a rabid, frothing fan of San Francisco’s HEALTHY SPIRITS beer store until my most recent couple of visits there, when I realized that over the past two years the place has become the SF Bay Area’s finest retail location for off-beat, one-of-a-kind, artisanal beers. The place has...
mondaynightbrewing — We’re not brewing tonight. If you’re a diligent Monday Night reader (I think there are three of you, including my mom), you may have noticed that we’ve been brewing approximately twice a month. This is not some sinister plot to deprive you of beer. We have intentionally scaled back brewing to...
barclayperkins.blogspot — More on oats. Is anyone still listening? I thought not. Maybe a few of you are still looking at the nice labels. Can you detect a theme in my choices?"Progress with OatsIt is satisfactory to note that the figures for the month of July disclose that for all practical purposes...
thebrewclub — I wasn’t sure how to title this post, but as the Super Bowl approached there seem to be two convergent things that women in this country seem to be under-interested in. Interest in good beer, and interest in football. Generally speaking, I think most women would rather change the car’s oil...
beerblog.genx40 — I have no real skin in this question. Never met the man but at the same time have plenty of his books. Professionally with my LLB / LLM [Ed.: not as impressive as might seem to suggest] and academically with my BA in English [Ed.: now, bow ye down before...
jackcurtin — I was thinking that, if I were younger and irresponsible, and I could get from here to Rt. 422, the trip to Iron Hill West Chester would probably be, given the conditions, relatively simple, taking the long way around: 422 to Rt. 202 straight into West Chester or 422 to...
jackcurtin — …I believe it is Larry Horwitz whom the gods would destroy, not I. They’ve always had a bug up their collective asses about hubris and I think his burning Lappy in effigy Thursday night and dancing around it screaming “Belgium Comes to West Chester is my party now!!” pushed their buttons...
jackcurtin — As I look out upon a morning where the snow on the ground is as high as a Buddy’s eye, I do believe the gods are sending me a message about Belgium Comes to West Chester. To wit: You once flew too close to the sun in that place and survived,...
beernews — Pic courtesy of The Homebrew Chef, Sean Z. Paxton (San Francisco, CA) – This is absolutely wild. Russian River Pliny the Younger went on tap at 11am PST today and kicked in less than 10 hours! Compare this to last year when the beer went on tap on February...
beernews — (Boston, MA) – As usual with Boston Beer Co., there isn’t a whole lot of information available on this one yet but the brewery might just have its first IPA. What we know for now is that the brewery has received label approval for a new brand coming this year. ...

yoursforgoodfermentables — The topic of this month's The Session: Beer Blogging Friday is Cask-Conditioned Ale. In addition to inviting beer bloggers to contribute, I reached out to non-blogging beer folk (and, yes, they are many). This personal reminiscence is from Casey Hard. Cask ale is a wonderful way to taste beer in...
beer.about — This Sunday, Americans will be gathering around TV sets to watch the Super Bowl. For some of us, it is the only time of the year that we pay attention to sports. For others of us, it is the culmination of a season's worth of stats, betting pools...
jackcurtin — Having finally gotten the damned list of local beers mentioned in the forthcoming 1001 Beers You Must Taste Before You Die right (prodded, poked and pulled along the path to perfection by a giggling Joe Sixpack), I thought I should, undaunted, leap back into the fray. But on a more manageable...
beer.about — I've never been on a cruise. I've never even been on a cruise ship. My only point of reference for cruise ships is the Marx Brothers' movie Monkey Business in which they play stowaways on a cruise ship. Although I'm sure that the industry and the ships...
beer.about — It started last autumn when news came out of Canada that US speed skaters were dissatisfied with their access to the Olympic rink for practice. I'm not sure about the details but Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central decided to make the cause his own. ...
