Mike Esterl of the The Wall Street Journal recently posted an interview with MillerCoors Chief Executive Tom Long where they touched upon many subjects, including a new aluminum can Miller Lite will be launching this spring that has two openings; one for drinking and one that allows air into the can so the beer flows […]

Well this happened.  Bonfire Brewing in Eagle Colorado has decided to name its American-style barleywine after everyone’s favorite good Christian boy, Tim Tebow.  And that totally makes sense – name a high-ABV beer after a devout Christian who abstains from alcohol.  Sure. Perfect sense. 

Say what you will about the online antics of Ashley Rouston (A.K.A. The Beer Wench), but you can’t argue with her success or her work ethic – the girl is all hustle and knows how to play the game. She’s long been out front on the craft beer social media scene and has worked it […]

In Alaska, sometimes weird things happen.  Take for example the case of Clifton Vial, a guy from Nome Alaska.  He was out driving one day, and suddenly found himself and his Toyota Tacoma pickup stuck about 40 miles north of Nome Alaska. For those of you not familiar with the wilds of Alaska 40 miles […]

Hold onto your hats and try to stay with me here.  A new (probably expensive) study is reporting that alcohol effects decision making, and a person’s level of risky sexual behavior INCREASES AS MORE ALCOHOL IS CONSUMED!!  OMG!!  They’ve finally cracked the code!!  Up until now, I thought that it was just a coincidence that […]

Not long ago, Sam Calagione’s show Brew Masters was cancelled by the Discovery Channel (or as Sam says, it wasn’t renewed).  The plot soon thickened when iconoclastic chef Anthony Bourdain tweeted that Brew Masters was killed by “Big Beer” who threatened to pull their ads off of Discovery and its sister networks if the show […]

Thankfully, I have no idea who Adele is, but apparently she’s an important cog in the industrial macro music machine because she’s been nominated for six Grammy’s.  They reserve these honors for industry insiders, not decent indie singers like Jenny Lewis or Leslie Feist or Chan Marshall, so I guess if Adele were a beer […]

You may have heard that 90’s “supergroup” Hanson has recently declared “We are soon going to be selling our own beer. I’m not joking – MMMhop IPA anyone?”  And some in the craft beer world groaned.  After all, many folks consider the Hanson boys to be more Partridge Family than Jackson Five, a used up […]

It is hard to believe, but we hit two milestones in one day here at B&WB.  Not only did we get to expose a big beer industrial hack, but yesterday’s numbers gave us our best month since we began this site, and pushed us up and over the 500,000 visitor mark all time on the […]

Just when you think something amazing has been achieved, it turns out there’s a catch that totally ruins it.  In this case, two enterprising young fellas have sent a can of beer into space and back down again so they could have the privilege of drinking the world’s first “space beer,” and what do the […]

This is part two of our two part interview with Sam Calagione, founder and President of Dogfish Head Brewing in Milton, Delaware.  Sam gives us a brief look behind the curtain of what makes Sam, Sam.  His daily routine, what he is passionate about, how much he drinks, and a new beer that will be […]

As someone who writes a lot, I know that you must choose your words wisely.  Sometimes this is more important than others, like when describing the very essence of a thing to a highly sensitive and knowledgeable audience.  Call a tomato a vegetable, and a carpologist is going to call you out on it.  Tell […]

Word out of Longmont, Colorado is that craft brewer Oskar Blues is getting into the bicycle building business.  They’ve created a new brand for the bike called “Reeb” (beer pedaled in reverse), and their first model will be a mountain bike.  Colorodoan.com shared the following details: Chad Melis, marketing director for Oskar Blues, said the […]

Well here we are again.  I was in Brewforia Beer Market last week and happened across a bottle of Lost Abbey Witches Wit, and much to my surprise the very controversial label hasn’t been changed.  I thought when we discussed this before, over a year ago here on this blog, that this had been resolved.  Lost Abbey […]

Don and I were lucky enough to get a 30 minute phone interview with Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione,  I started to transcribe the interview and realized that it was way too much content for a single post, so I’ve decided to break it into two parts.  Plus it takes FOREVER to do the transcription, […]
