You know Gary Coleman really had it great in the 70s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes.  He had his older brother Willis to run interference for him and a new kinda hot sister that was rich, and a new dad that was a disciplinarian, but loose with the purse strings.  “OK, Dad…I’ll take my grounding like a […]

The following is a press release from the folks at Buffalo Trace Distillery.  Feel free to read it, as it gives good information about their latest experimental whiskeys.  One was aged in a French Oak Barrel as opposed to an American Oak, and one was seasoned with oak chips and aged in a used Whiskey […]

Sometimes new and old come together in interesting ways.  Take for example this photo with a very modern piece of deathstar art with an obviously very old building in the background.  The juxtaposition makes us both intrigued and uncomfortable at the same time.  Well that is kind of how I feel about the collaboration between Schneider Weisse […]

It seems that the post I did yesterday is being reflected in industry news.  The article below from “BeerNews.org states that Goose Island is looking to contract with Redhook brewery out of Portsmouth, NH to fill its ever growing demand.  See to my way of thinking Redhook is a mediocre brewer, they don’t make anything […]

Some revolutions are worth fighting for.  My Cousin David sent this to me and it is a brief segment and article from reason.tv.  Not a lot new here, but it does explain some insights into why right now is the golden age of craft beer.  We have already begun to see the balkinization of mediocre […]

I was reading a blog post about Saranac Beer over at The Brew Club, and it got me to thinking about how many middle of the road brews there are out there.  See a comment was made by one of Scott’s visitors about the fact that he had a “What Ales You” Case of Saranac, and that […]

You know what I hate?  I hate it when people are just too subtle.  Like when me and my wife were dating, well actually before we began to date, she said she practically had to hit me over the head to get me to respond to her very subtle advances.  Good thing she is persistent. […]

Well it finally has happened, researchers have figured out how to make fuel for automobiles from the remnants of whiskey production!  It seems like a no-brainer, especially with some of the higher proof stuff, its flamable and some of it tastes like jet fuel, but now its official. In this article, Researchers at Edinburgh Napier […]

Far be it for me to suggest that Sean Connery doesn’t wear anything under his kilt, but given the evidence on the internet it seems that most guys that are daring enough to actually don the tartan plaid do so commando style.  To quote Kramer from Seinfeld…”I’m out there Jerry!”  So when I had the […]

The last few weekends in my household have been, to put it mildly, eventful.  We had a wedding of my Son last weekend, wedding prep the weekend before, the weekend before that we were in Coeur d’Alene running all over the place, and on and on.  This weekend I want to be bored! I want […]

This is a picture of the new grain silo at Avery Brewing in Boulder, Colorado.  I LOVE how BIG it is!  Looks like there will be plenty of Maharaja coming from that baby!  They are also taking delivery of four new tanks this month, so the Avery Warehouse should stay full for the foreseeable future, although it […]

Well the circle is complete.  What started four month’s ago with Stone’s version of Saison du BUFF has come full circle with Victory Brewing’s release of Saison du BUFF.  Having never had any of these, I hear they are all very different, and they are all pretty tasty.  Of course I haven’t heard anything about […]

I’d like to thank Chris Oates and Pints for Prostates for this article.  This tasting is on my Birthday, so any of you who are still needing to pick something up for my big day, here’s a big hint! Denver, Colo. – Beer fans lucky enough to score a ticket to the Denver Rare Beer […]

Avery Brewing makes it official!  After announcing back in January that they were going to be developing a canning line, their first brew is being canned today.  Joe’s Premium American Pilsner is Avery Brewing’s first beer in a can.  But it won’t be the last.  Take a look at their can warehouse! …

Well by this time of day this is becoming old news, but hopefully some of you that live in caves and under rocks and only believe what you read on Beer and Whiskey Brothers will happy to hear that there is yet more good news in the craft beer world.  The Craft Beer Alliance has […]
