I don’t often get the chance to do a sequel blog post. This story definitely merits a follow-up, though. It all started over a hundred and fifty years ago when some brewer somewhere brewed a batch of beer for export. The beer was delivered to the dock and loaded on a ship where it set [...]

Walker has been a regular name on the lips of pundits on both sides of the aisle since he took office. Often identified as a tea-party politician, Walker has used some fairly extreme measures to enact [...]

You like beer, right? I assume you do since you’re reading this blog. So, as a presumed beer lover, may I also assume that you like variety in your beer? I probably can’t assume this quite so readily but, it is human nature, right? I mean, the cereal aisle at the grocery store wouldn’t be [...]

I know what you’re thinking. Another post about beer pong? First of all, I’m impressed that you’ve read this far and I understand if you quit following as themes are already being repeated.

I’m really not sure why this kind of thing irritates me, but it does. Molson Coors, recognizing that craft and specialty beer is the fastest growing – not to mention the only growing – market in beer these days, is moving to grab as much of that market as it can. That’s basically the gist [...]

You know that scene that seems to show up in every cop movie or TV show where the cops approach the old cellmate of their main suspect? The guy is always still in jail and the suspect apparently shared a vital piece of information to the cops’ case with him. The cellmate asks for a [...]

Have you noticed that retail chains have been selling their own beer lately? It’s happening more often all the time. One of the earlier chains that I know of was Trader Joe’s with their popular line-up of beer. Then Costco came along followed by 7-11, Walgreens and others.

Carlsberg is introducing a new beer with perhaps the stupidest selling point that I’ve ever seen for a beer. On the company’s website, Copenhagen is rolled out with a discussion of what “modern women and men” are looking for in a beer today, “specifically the full package of design, taste and quality.” It seems that [...]

Growing up in a suburb where the closest body of water was my grandparent’s pool, I never knew the joy that comes with renting a boat for the day, taking it out on the lake, and skipping rocks while you eat BBQ and drink lemonade with your family. While I still don’t know that, many [...]
