It’s the end of the year, which means it’s the start of statistics season.  The first noteworthy report I’ve seen is from Mintel Intelligence, which highlights some interesting trends.  

Update 1/3/11: Don’s review of Infinium – he loved it!  Click here to read Don’s Infinium review. Update 12/9/10: Our pal Daniel got his hands on some and put together an entertaining (and profane) review of Infinium.  Click here to read it. Update 12/3/10: I just called my local go-to beer stores, and they don’t […]

Our most recent poll confirmed what we suspected.  Most beer drinkers prefer their brews from a tap but wind up with beer from bottles.  For the majority, craft beer on tap remains an occasional treat, something to look forward to and savor. More than 7 out of 10 folks who cast a vote said that […]

I don’t go in for beer rating sites, mostly because I feel what’s good and what’s awful is a personal matter of taste. That said, it’s hard to argue with the results of Rate Beer’s 50 Worst Beers in the World, as chosen by thousands of the site’s users. Of course a few of these […]

      Well, our Boomerang Beer Poll has cooled off enough for us to say it’s time to do a final tally.  We feel pretty good about the results this time, as they tend to jibe more with reality than our previous attempt at this. It seems that California and Colorado are America’s two […]

Why is it called a “boomerang” beer poll?  Well because we did a similar one half a year ago, but the results were sketchy.  And that’s been bugging Don and I for a while now, so we called “do-over!”  

So as you may know, Don and I are going to be attending next month’s Great American Beer Fest for the first time.  We’ve been putting our game plan together, trying to cram in as many meet-ups, schmoozes and (of course) great beers into the 48 hours we’ll be in Denver. Part of the plan […]

Apparently yesterday was the 200th anniversary of the invention of the can.  Who knew?  Well the Huffington Post did, and to mark the occasion they turned their attention to the best thing to ever be put in a can: Colorado craft beer! Hit this link to check out their poll of the best Colorado canned […]

Well, no surprises in the 2010 Zymurgy Best Beer in America Poll, I guess.  For two years in a row now it’s Pliney, Pliney, Pliney!  I haven’t had Pliney the Elder (feel free to send me some), but I have had Bell’s Two Hearted and can attest to its tastiness.  Other than the fact that […]

So apparently this whole soccer/futbol thing is a big deal, but I just can’t get into it. While I appreciate all the enthusiasm and national pride, the sport of soccer still bores me.  I know, I’m the Unenlightened American and I’m missing out, but I’d rather watch reruns of Love Boat. Still, seeing all of […]
