No, that’s not a typo. I am going to attend the Lupulin Reunulin in DC on May 13 (Tuesday), where five of the world’s finest brewers will be in attendance. My goal is to get a photo of our Golden Calf, Sam Calagione (founder of Dogfish Head). I will also be meeting Randall the Enamel […]

 
Hey peeps:
 My apologies to all five of you who read my posts; I have not provided an update in three long weeks. Those weeks have flown right by–where in hades did April go? Seemed like it was Easter, then whoosh! A giant suckin’ sound!
Anyhoo, I decided to give my most loyal readers a two-fer: a brew […]

Then you and I are among the same ranks. Except that WE HAVEN’T MAILED OUR BEER YET BLUAAAUGH!!! Now, if I didn’t have this goddamn stupid job, I’d drive my fine braus out to the testing site here in Southern CA myself. But I do. So I […]

FRIENDS! It was on this day in the year 1933 and they’re out of the gate! Coming around the first bend it’s Hot Water Trotter followed closely […]

Um. OK. I’ll just post a link to a thorough AP article, but here’s the skinny: Miller is going to start releasing “craft” versions of its Lite beer. There will be a blonde, a wheat and an amber version. I’m intrigued but not… like… I mean it’s wrong. It’s wrong! Here’s the thing—as I’ve said […]

Friends, at first this Captain was skeptical. I mean, Bud Light… mixed with Clamato!? Whoa! Pass the bong, Chip! It took me long enough to embrace the mixing of clam juice and tomato juice in the first place. In fact, I don’t really think clam juice should be a juice one consumes. But, notwithstanding… this […]
