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 […]

On my recent foray up to Northern Idaho we took a day to tour the lakes region, which includes the areas around Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, Idaho.  Well one of my favorite Idaho Breweries just happens to be located just outside Sandpoint, Idaho in the small town of Ponderay.  The Laughing Dog Brewery is a […]

Some of you have noticed that the big guy hasn’t been around for a few days, with no posts on the home page and no shots taken at me in the comments.  Don’t worry, he’s fine and just on vacation.  He’s up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho tearing the place up with his boys, and possibly […]

Because anyone who’s anyone has a podcast (except for all those anyones who don’t) we’ve decided to get in on the action. Hit the link below to pop over to iTunes and download our first attempt at our podcast, which we’re calling the Invisible TV Show.  We promise it’s good for a few laughs, and […]

Don and I have decided to bite the bullet and try our hand at this whole podcasting craze the kids keep talking about.  We’re still working out the technical details of how to do it from across the country.  Don rejected my two-tin-cans-and-a-cassette-recorder proposal, but we should have it all ironed out soon. In the […]

OK, so some of you have really been brow beating me for this post, so here it is, and it better be one of my best traffic’d posts ever, since you have all been clamoring for it.  This is a symbiotic relationship…I produce, you read…Got me?!  OK, not that I’ve got that little bit off […]

Well the votes have slowed to a trickle and we think it’s time to call this thing. We’ll leave the poll open for a while just to see what happens, but it seems to be out of steam. We’ve come to the conclusion that this probably isn’t the most accurate representation of how craft beer […]

I know it might sound funny for a guy with a drinking blog, but I really don’t drink that much.  Think about it, I might put up three or four posts a week about a beer or whiskey, and that is really all I typically drink.  Sometimes I might have a beer on the weekend, […]

I got this Message from my buddy Rick over at Brewforia Beer Market last night: “An unfortunate update on this issue. UPS and FedEx are both now refusing our shipments claiming that we are in violation of our contract because we were shipping beer to consumers. We are contiuning to fight this policy so we […]

Last week the guys over at Thank Heaven for Beer put together a Sip With Us Saturday and invited me to participate.  Well, I’m not sure if I am the brightest bulb on the tree or not, but I took that to mean that they wanted a review of the beer that I chose, so […]

Well everyone, it worked.  Brewforia the beer market in Boise that also ships beer via an internet business will be getting shipping contracts in place this week with both FedEx and UPS.  We’ve been making a lot of noise on this site over the last few days to try and help out a local Entrepreneur with a […]

We have been saying a lot about the situation a local Boise beer market has run into with trying to ship product to customers from internet orders for the business.  Well the story is clarified by Rick Boyd, Owner of the Brewforia Beer Market.  Like many who take the time to write extensive and substantive […]

As you know, some very nice places to buy beer online have been hit with a really unfair policy from FedEx and UPS, who are now refusing to ship beer to places they ship wine.  It’s a ridiculous policy and it needs to be changed. There’s a Facebook Page up that’s been designed to put […]

This is an issue that my Beer Guy and friend Rick Boyd at the Brewforia Beer Market has been grappling with for the last several months.  It seems that someone within UPS or FedEx hates beer.  So much so that they are refusing to ship product from the Brewforia Beer Market in Boise, Idaho.  See […]
