…otherwise this isn’t so funny.  But as it is, there’s something mesmerizing about watching her fall into the surf again and again.  It’s 3 minutes long, and I watched every second.

The beer bike is a glorious invention, one that brings together two things that many craft beer geeks love; cold brews and pedal-powered vehicles.   The only way this thing could be any better is if it helped you grow a brewer’s beard as well.  That would be the beer geek hat trick! 

I just read our site without being logged into WordPress and saw a Groupon ad. WTF?!  Can anyone tell me how longs these ads have been here?  Are they bothersome?  We had no idea they were there! . .

A recent study from AlixPartners shows that the next year is going to be a good one for most drink makers – unless you’re a macro brewer. The study polled 1,000 people in early February, asking if they expected to spend more or less on certain kinds of beverages, from sports drinks to the heavy […]

If pop culture has taught us anything, it’s that pretty people always win and the zombie apocalypse is inevitable.  The rules of zombie behavior have been well established (most recently by AMC’s The Walking Dead) and survival guides are everywhere. But what these guides fail to mention is how to survive in style, most notably, […]

. . I found the above video over at the Beer section of Reddit.  It shows a looooong line of empty craft beer bottles that were consumed during the Dark Lord Day festivities.  It’s like a junkyard filled with exotic cars, each more tantalizing than the last. I think I need to go to this […]

I love reading Paul Gatza’s blog posts over at the Brewer’s Association, mostly because I’m a bit of a numbers nerd when it comes to craft beer and he’s always sharing stats.  I love following the “story” of what’s happening in the rapidly evolving world of good beer.  It’s like my favorite soap opera. The […]

UPDATE: I give up – I missed the old layout too much.  It’s neater, warmer and the comments sections is far superior.  It’s like coming home! 🙂 As you might have noticed, we’ve updated the layout of the site.  This was done for a couple of reasons.  Number one, we got bored.  It’s fun to […]

The fine folks over at the Brooklyn Brewery obviously have a problem.  Their obsession for beer has led them past the kegs, beyond the bottles and straight for the showers.  That’s right, Brooklyn Brewery now sells beer soap, perfect for making you crave a chocolate stout at 6:30 in the morning. The soap comes in […]

The news is everywhere – Osama Bin Laden is dead.  And while this won’t have any great effect on how Al-Qaeda operates, it might offer a little closure for folks who lost a loved one on September 11th or in any of the other attacks that have been perpetrated on his behalf.  It might also […]

Poor Wrecks Bell. As he puts it, he was “just a small time business man, trying to make a bock.” A bock beer that is. And being from the Lone Star State of Texas, he decided to call that beer Star Bock. Where’s the harm in that? According to the U.S. Trademark Office, there was […]

[Click to Enlarge] . . Here’s a very cool infographic developed by Melissa Schmechel from Darlingville Design. It’s part of a Facebook contest that Sixpoint is sponsoring. They have asked designers to develop art around the concept of “Beer is Culture” and what you see above is Melissa’s contribution.  She posted it to our Facebook wall […]

A brewery in New Zealand has created what is being called “the world’s first known whisky-beer,” a 7% ABV golden ale brewed with 100% peat-smoked Scottish distilling malt.  “Rex Attitude,” brewed by Yeastie Boys (ugh) in Wellington, New Zealand, is said to be intensely smoky and earthy, and has been described as tasting like bacon […]

I’m not sure if it’s a spring cleaning thing, or if I’m afraid the coming warm weather will skunk the stash I have in my garage, but I’ve decided it’s time to drink all those beers that have been hanging around for months and months and months.  The Great Drinkdown of 2011 has begun! Now, […]

We can talk all we want to about how craft beer is gaining respect as an honest-to-goodness alternative to wine, but that’s simply not the case in the British Royal Court.  Queen Elizabeth herself has chosen the menu for the royal nuptials, and beer is definitely NOT included.  Why?  Because it simply isn’t worthy of […]
