josh oakesFirst impressions about England
by josh oakes
This August marked my return to England after an 8-year absence, just in time to take in what appears to be something of a resurgence in the UK brewing scene. The first stop, of course, was London, and it didn’t take long to notice that the capital has a number of new breweries, and [...]
ken weaverImbibe Highlights New Hop Varieties, Alcohol Trends
by ken weaver
It’s rare that I’ll lean upon outside news sources or magazine articles as primary content (which probably just points to the fact that good bloggers are significantly more savvy and reactionary than I tend to be), but the recent issue of Imbibe magazine (July/August 2010) touched upon two topics that figure in prominently in this [...]

lisa morrisonThe Most Hopiful Time of the Year
by lisa morrison
With no disrespect to crooner Andy Williams, hop harvest is “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” And on Monday, Full Sail Brewing — headed by brewmaster John Harris — took about 50 or so lucky beer writers, pub owners and servers on a field trip (literally) to be a part of this year’s big [...]
sean nordquist2010 WaZoo Beer Festival – A View from the Other Side of the Bottle
by sean nordquist
Every year, Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo holds several major fund-raising events.  The best of them, in this craft beer lover’s opinion, is WaZoo.  Listed by USA Today as one of the “10 Great Beer Festivals” in America, it is also – in the words of Cigar City Brewing’s Wayne Wambles – the “biggest sweat fest [...]
pj hobermanThe Maturity of the Craft Beer Industry
by pj hoberman
Beer has an interesting history. It goes back well before history was a major in college. In goes back before history was something written down, in fact. Beer goes back a long ways. At the same time (time being a term used to describe my explanation of history, not history itself), beer has highs and lows. [...]
Contributing AuthorIt’s Official: Beer Tastes Better 1700m Above Sea Level
by barilochebeer
Growing up in sub-tropical Brisbane, there wasn’t much opportunity to be exposed to snow, nor to craft beer for that matter. Hot and humid was the usual refrain from the weatherman; bland and weak was all you got from the barman. So to be standing at a trailhead with the intention of traipsing through snowy Patagonia [...]
Contributing AuthorQuality Beer Leads to Quality People
by ilanklagesmundt
My past week in England marked the first full month that I have been overseas studying brewing cultures. The time already seems to be flying by, and I blame my full schedule of brewery tours, pub crawls and meetings with organizations for the feeling. Something I have noticed greatly throughout this past month, as well [...]
steve koenemannA Change of Seasons
by steve koenemann
All of the typical signs are evident that summer is coming to an end and that fall is almost upon us; school began in most local districts this last week, the Champlain Valley Fair starts its 10-day run today and the summer green of the Vermont hillsides are slowly showing a hint of that blaze of color that will be dominant in a month or so.
jon abernathyDeschutes Brewery VIP Tour and Media Event
by jon abernathy
On Thursday I (along with a group of other local media folks) was invited to Deschutes Brewery for a special VIP brewery tour and media event. I was entirely unsure what to expect beforehand, and as it turned out the Brewery had set up a special tasting for attendees beforehand, presented by one of the senior brewers Jimmy Seifert and marketing manager Jason Randles. While the brewery tour was great (particularly so due to main tour conductor Aaron), it was the tasting that was the main event of the evening. For each beer tasted, Seifert talked about the making and history of the beer, and there were interesting nuggets of information to be gleaned along the way.
